Well, Leo *does* create external files, the .leo files; but they are not the kind of external files you are referring to and the kind of external files prgrammers are expecting. What Leo lacks, compared to some leading IDEs (i.e. Eclipse or PyCharm), is the notion of a 'project'. On an abstract level, .leo files *are* project files (and much much more) in the sense, that they manage all the details for one project (or several projects at once). But nothing in the Leo terminology hints at this purpose; and the current GUI suggests that 'one can't even create and manage projects'. I know, I can create headlines and sub-headlines, and config files etc, all contained in and by a hierarchy and 'create my project' this way. But Leo doesn't help with that. --Reinhard > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
