Thanks for the input.
I don't have a Mac, so I can't help much, but I can speak a bit about the

What I mean by "does not expand: is that there is no "tilde expansion"
taking place when I use '~', which I expect to "expand" to my home
directory.

Using the setting above the directories are indeed created, but not in my
home directory. So if my outline file is in
"/Users/leodude/projects/coolproj/" the structure gets created as:
"/Users/leodude/projects/coolproj/*~*/aaa/bbb/ccc/test1.txt"
instead of ""/Users/leodude/aaa/bbb/ccc/test1.txt" like I expect.
Using *'.'* works as expected (cwd) and is arguably more useful than
referencing "home dir" in most cases.

That is good to hear.
