Unfortunately, there is a fly in the ointment. I have an external file at
a location that uses "..", like this:
- @path d:/Tom/devel/leo/plugins
-@file ../plugins/viewrendered3.py
Leo wants this @file path to contain the *../plugins* path step. With the
*expanduser()* line, my file doesn't save. I tried adding an
*os.path.abspath()* operation, but then a lot of other files don't load and
Leo operation are quite messed up. Apparently certain calls expect
relative paths to be returned. So it's a mess, so far as creating correct
directory @paths that contain "~" is concerned.
And without adding the *os.path.expanduser()* call, Leo doesn't make the
correct directories when the *@path* subtree starts with "~". So this is
not such an easy thing to fix properly.
I have come up with completely different code for opening a directory that
properly expands "~". Of course, it won't cause the correct directories to
be made, but it does return the correct directory path, including "~", and
does not rely on ".". It won't work right if an *@path* directory contains
".." but it does work right if the *@file* headline contains ".." as in my
example above.
"""Return the full path on disk to an external file or directory.
Honor all @path directives. Expand "~" in path to be the user's
home directory. If get_file is False, return only the directory's
path (less any filename).
"""
import os
steps = [d.get('path') for d in g.get_directives_dict_list(p) if 'path' in
d]
steps.reverse()
# Comment in these four lines if you also want to include the file itself
in the path.
#pth = g.fullPath(c, p)
#fn = os.path.basename(pth) #file name if there is a file here.
#if fn:
#steps.append(fn)
if len(steps) > 1:
pth = os.path.join(steps[0], *steps[1:])
elif len(steps) == 1:
pth = steps[0]
else:
pth = os.getcwd()
pth = os.path.expanduser(pth)
if g.isWindows:
pth = pth.replace('/', '\\')
else:
pth = pth.replace('\\', '/')

It looks like there is a simple fix. This hasn't had hardly any testing,
but on the surface it's doing the right thing. The little example that
failed in an earlier post created the right directories.
In *leoCommands.py*, in the method *expand_path_expression(self, s)*, add
the line marked below
val = ''.join(aList)
*val = os.path.expanduser(val) # <===== Add this line*
if g.isWindows:
val = val.replace('\\', '/')
return val
