Thanks. Re:
> OpenWith:Idle opens a Leo *node*, not a file. However, you could use @edit to put an entire file into a node, and then open the @edit node with Idle. Sorry, I meant python file, which is set as a node in Leo. Nothing opens in Idle. Idle does not open at all on selection of this option. I just want a quick way to run my __init__.py file, a node. At present I have to open it from the Idle menu. Or more conveniently, I use Eclipse -- but I want to give Leo a go, which is why I'm here. Re: > I personally never use Idle, which is probably why OpenWith:Idle isn't very useful. Instead, I use g.pdb. Is that a function on Leo? Maybe something I should look into. > Thanks for your comments. Please feel free to continue this conversation. You're welcome. I was hoping they'd be taken not just as complaints, but things which a newcomer to Leo is likely to encounter, likely to put off other potential users, which should be fixed if it's a goal for Leo to gain wider adoption. But I understand that development resources are limited, and this may not be a priority. On Tuesday, May 7, 2013 11:22:27 PM UTC+10, Edward K.
