Disclaimer - I understand that nothing breaks software like trying to satisfy the demands of disparate individual users. I do realise that so this is observation not really requests and certainly not criticism! Leo is wonderful.
When I read the group postings I often don't feel at all like the target audience. Now that of course is probably because I'm not the target audience, my programming skills are just no where near good enough! What do I use Leo for then? Content - for me content is king. Manipulate it - tag it - filter it - anything you like but it's about content. So my first use of Leo is as a free form database for notes, minutes, agendas,passwords, journal type stuff. Leo is a tremendously effective bucket for information - and the ability to link to external files adds to this capability. I have written simple Python scripts. So I am by no means a heavy duty user in terms of features but Leo is open on my computers Win10 and OSX all the time. However there are things (and these I'm sure are very particular to me) that make me look elsewhere for tools that I probably could and should use Leo for that I don't. I'm a writer and generally my output is PDFs via Latex. I have looked at the info on a workflow from Leo and just not found the energy to tackle it. So I use Scrivener - which is tree based - looks great and has a relatively simple 'compile' mode to Latex. Now any attempt to turn Leo into Scrivener would be madness, but if someone wrote a Latex plugin that simple folk like me could use that would be great. However I hear the argument 'there are plenty of text to Latex tools why should Leo be another?' Well Leo has the tremendous advantage of not having to 'contain' all the files within itself - it can just reference them. So in Scrivener when I output the document.tex file and then I want to make edits then I have go round the whole edit in scrivener, compile, TexStudio routine. Whereas in Leo I could just reference the document.tex file and edit it directly from within Leo or just make the final edits in TexStudio know that Leo will be able to reflect those edits in the referenced file. Secondly I use org-mode - nothing sophisticated - not even as a todo list - but as my daily agenda and reminder - I need a lot of reminding. Org's capture and schedule tools are second to none. And with the addition of Beorg on iOS Org is surely going from strength to strength. Seeing my Org Mode Agenda in Leo would be lovely - having that agenda fire reminders from Leo would be even better. I wonder if I am alone on this island or are there other Leo users who step away to do Scrivener and Org type things? Notwithstanding these minor niggles it would be churlish not to thank everyone for their efforts especially EKR so THANKS!
