I don't have a Mac, so I can't help much, but I can speak a bit about the
*@path
~* matter. This does work on Linux. When you wrote "does not expand", did
you mean that the implied paths are not created when you save an "external"
file? If so, you can change this behavior by adding a node to your
MyLeoSettings.leo file. This node has to be a child of the @settings node,
and have this headline:
@bool create_nonexistent_directories = True
Restart Leo after saving. Then the following should happen. Create a
small subtree, for example:
- @path ~/aaa
- @path bbb
-@path ccc
@clean test1.txt
After you save the outline, the file *test1.txt* should be there at
*~/aaa/bbb/ccc/test1.txt*.
There are Mac users who seem to have good success using Leo, so it ought to
workable for you. A lot of them read these posts, so I expect you will get
some help pretty soon.
Leo is a remarkably useful and adaptable piece of software. But it can be
hard to learn about all the things, like the *@bool* setting above, that
make it really sing for you. Just keep asking here, and read the Leo docs
about settings, customization, and so on.
