Good news! The Register and Unregister scripts to enable/disable Windows to
start Leo from double-clicking on a .leo file now work. --- For me.
testing appreciated. The enhancement issue is
https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1012, but it's probably a
good idea to open new issues for bugs so details don't get lost in
cross-threads.
They work a) from Leo GUI, b) from Leo command line, and c) from straight
python :-) 👍
*Python:*
python .\leo-editor\leo\scripts\win-register-leo.leox
*Leo script:*
leo-messages.exe --script=..\scripts\win-register-leo.leox
*--Script* path must be relative to `leo-editor\leo\core` NOT the
filesystem (a bug in Leo core I think).
*Leo GUI:*
* Run Leo >> Open specific Leo file >> `scripts.leo` >> Find "Windows
only scripts" node* >> select **`*@file win-register-leo.leox*`** >>
Execute script (Ctrl-B)
* Current node location, subject to change:
`.../leo-editor/leo/scripts/scripts.leo#Scripts-->@file
leoScripts.txt-->Command-line scripts-->Windows-only scripts`
*Expected results*
```
