Thanks Edward - I have added the line about create non existing directories to the mysettings files.
Here's the current behaviour... I have an @path node representing a directory 1 I right click on the @path node and select active-path-make-dir from the path option. Up comes the name directory dialogue. 2 I type a name for the directory and a sub-node appears beneath the @path node. Named in the style /New-Directory/ 3 I save the outline - but my new directory is not created at this point - I get a note in the log file saying - Path will be created if a file is saved on it I only get this warning once further saves are silent on the matter. 4 I create a node - Active_Path_Test - under the /New-Directory/ node and save the outline - no OS action as yet! 5 I right click on my new node and select path/active-path-act-on-node - no dice - log warning 'Create parent directories first.' 6 I rename node @auto Active_Path_Test - and save the outline - at this point file and directory are created. 7 I create a new file in the directory from the OS side. 8 Right click on the /New-Directory/ node and select path/active-path-act-on-node and my OS created file appears as a node - empty at the moment 9 I right click on my OS-File node and select path/active-path-act-on-node and the content of the file appears. Sorry for the long winded 'path' to here but I guess what is confusing me is that nodes which create files on the Leo side have to need to have a an '@auto' prefix whereas the glory of Active Path is that files grabbed from the OS don't - is that expected behaviour? Thanks for all your patience. ta IH On Monday, 5 April 2021 at 21:03:24 UTC+1 Edward K.
