Before I start this I should say I've been using Leo for a few years and absolutely love it. I should also say that I have either ADHD or autism. I'm not sure yet as I've been waiting 4 years for an assessment! Maybe it's this reason that I don't like change and I get in a state when something doesn't work, or doesn't work as it should.
I use Leo at home on my Linux machine, and I use it for work on a Windows laptop. I always seem to go through stress when I want to think about upgrading, which is probably why I leave it too long between upgrades. It's mainly because I can't stand the pain of getting everything set up as it was. I wish updating Leo was more like updating Notepad++. Notepad++ informs me there's an update goes through the process and then restarts exactly as it was. I currently have Leo 6.8.2-devel installed on my Windows work machine and downloaded the full zip file. Luckily I made a backup of my leo-editor-master folder and then copied in the new leo-editor-devel folder and renamed it to ...-master. It all ran fine. However, the panel layout wasn't quite as I liked it, so I just selected Toggle-Split-Direction. Unfortunately, in the idea layout for viewing the tree and the code, the log window was stuck in the middle and I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't get it to sit below the tree view and then have the full height code view on the right. I wish leo could be upgraded without going through these pains each time. I've recently changed teams and I want to introduce my new team leader to it as I use it for documenting tasks that I've worked on and I keep myself a localised code base of the files I've worked on which are cloned nodes into the main solution structure of our desktop application. Leo is brilliant for this and there's nothing that matches its power. I just wished that it obeyed a separate settings file that didn't seem to get obliterated every upgrade. I'm sorry if there's anything I'm not following, maybe it's how my mind works. I know it's a complex beast compared to Notepad++, but I just wish that complexity was below water a little bit more and we just get to interact with the graceful swan ;-) Many thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
