Interesting ... I was the person who raised the earlier topic I presume you
are referring to. And I actually tried Thomas' settings suggestion ... and
it didn't work for me.
Or at least, IIRC I had to use a particular combination of @path and @clean
nodes to get it to work ... and in a way that I was not yet able to decide
if there is leo bug, or in my understanding of how this should work.
I have a part-draft of a posting on this. I will try to finish it, but I
think I had:
@path /path/to/new/directory
@clean mynewfile.txt # has '@all'
node1 # with contents
and I was expecting this to create /path/to/new/directory/mynewfile.txt ...
but it wasn't
