This was one of the very first things I needed to do on adoption of Leo. I had been "organizing" my work and flow using a file system tree and the "Sessions" function in kate. So every directory in my study tree had text files in it of assignment instructions, research notes etc. The procedure you just discovered took me about 40 minutes to figure out and no time at all to import all of my pre-existing content. I would second the motion for a video tutorial and perhaps the plugin should be activated by default.
