I was instructed as follows: To customize, make sure @bool mod-autosave-active = True (in your myLeoSettings.leo) and set the interval as you like, again in your myLeoSettings.leo. At that point, I did a complete search of my Windows hard disk for myLeoSettings.leo and did not find it. So then I did a search on leo-editor.com for myLeoSettings.py: and I read the first two links: Feedback on Link 1 <https://leoeditor.com/tutorial-basics.html>: the link says " *~/myLeoSettings.leo* contains your *personal settings*. Leo will not create this file automatically: you should create it yourself. " 1. one wonders what "~" is... this is unix terminology for a cross-platform editor. The real scoop on ~ aka HOME is actually revealed here <https://leoeditor.com/customizing.html#configuration-directories>and you can find HOME if you take a look at the log when you startup. 2. This link says "you should create it" but it does not suggest file -> settings -> open myLeoSettings.leo as a way to do this that creates the file if it does not exist. Feedback on Link 2 <https://leoeditor.com/customizing.html#configuration-directories> The average user will not want to run a Python expression to locate HOME. It would be good to mention that the startup log tells you where your HOME is. Question: When I navigate to File -> Plugins -> mod_autosave, it lists two variables with an "@" sign in front of them. Should I put these variables in the file with an @ sign in front of them? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
