Yes, I totally agree with this comment, the only missing thing is a pointer for the newbies to know that they have to activate it then use it in order to get the files, may it be a video or an entry in the documentation teaching how to import files.
And while we are on it, I would also remind about the "export from leo" tutorial. It would be great to know/see practical ways of exporting outlines into html, or any other useful formats. We now have a very good rst tuto,but I guess Leo can export to many more things hehe. Cheers.
