Here's a status update on my progress related to Leo's layout settings in
version 6.2.
I've executed a series of tests using the input & recipes you provide. -
Here are my notes from these tests:
###
Continue experimenting with the different modes of using docks in Leo.
* Re-read the various answers & feedback I received from the community to
my message related to the changed pane layout in Leo 6.2. - See
* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leo-editor/azhXxFudEXM/YePPj3riAQAJ
* Edward recommends to use the '--use-docks' command line option. - See
* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leo-editor/azhXxFudEXM/8l71X1N7BgAJ
* Edward recommends to use '@string initial-split-orientation =
vertical'. - See
* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leo-editor/azhXxFudEXM/GBiITFSDBgAJ
* Matt recommends to check out the FAQ on "How can I arrange Qt
docks?". - See
* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leo-editor/azhXxFudEXM/lK6KaZ0NAgAJ
* plus https://leoeditor.com/FAQ.html#how-can-i-arrange-qt-docks
* Thomas commented on the FAQ - and - made recommendations concerning
simplifying testing. - See
* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leo-editor/azhXxFudEXM/BxLHlAxCAgAJ
* Thomas provided further suggestions concerning my continuing issues.
- See
* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leo-editor/azhXxFudEXM/6g15ZqdXAgAJ
* Chris finally shared the recipe for his preferred layout. - See
* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/leo-editor/azhXxFudEXM/QzWyXHNbAgAJ
* Decide on the exact configuration for the secong round of testing.
* Start Leo with the '--use-docks' command line option.
* Outline: 1/1 - Render: 1/2 - Tabs: 2/1 - Body: 2/2
* Add '@string initial-split-orientation = vertical' to
'myLeoSettings.leo'.
* Outline: 1/1 - Tab: 1/2 - Render: 2/1 - Body: 2/2 <- before restart
for 'myLeoSettings.leo' !
* Restart Leo w/ deleting ~/.leo/DB, etc.
* Outline: 1/1 - Tab: 1/2 - Render: 2/1 - Body: 2/2 <- after restart
for 'workbook.leo', etc. !
* Try to move the panes as described in the FAQ. - Not OK.
* Add '@bool use-vr-dock = True' to 'myLeoSettings.leo'.
* Restart Leo w/o deleting ~/.leo/DB, etc.
* The Render pane still can **not** be moved ...
* Restart Leo w/ deleting ~/.leo/DB, etc.
* The Render pane still can **not** be moved ...
* Decide on the exact configuration for the third round of testing.
* Continue starting Leo with the '--use-docks' command line option.
* Outline: 1/1 - Tab: 1/2 - Render: 2/1 - Body: 2/2
* Keep '@string initial-split-orientation = vertical' in
'myLeoSettings.leo'.
* Keep '@bool use-vr-dock = True' in 'myLeoSettings.leo'.
* Add '@string central-dock-widget = body' to 'myLeoSettings.leo'.
* Restart Leo with deleting ~/.leo/DB, etc.
* Outline: 1/1 - Body: 1/2 - Tabs: 1/3 - Render: ?2/1? -> i.e. directly
below Tabs
* Render tab **can** be moved.
Summary:
* This looks like a usable setting for my purposes at this point in
time, especially since I can 'un-dock' the render pane - and - move it to a
different screen!
###
Although I still failed to re-create the exact layout as the default one in
Leo 6.1, I am satisfied enough to move my working instances to Leo 6.2.1
now.
Thanks again for all of your support.
With kind regards,
Viktor
