leo is overwriting ~/myLeoSettings.leo when it is a symlink, not a regular file

2008-08-20 Thread zpcspm

I use to keep config files for misc apps in a VCS. myLeoSettings.leo
landed there as well. In HOME, I have a symlink to the original
myLeoSettings.leo. leo sees the contents well, but if I open ~/
myLeoSettings.leo (the symlink, not the original file) and save it,
then leo overwrites the symlink with a regular file. Is there anything
(a setting perhaps) I can do about it, or leo just doesn't handle this
particular case correctly?

The latter, I suspect.  I'm not enthusiastic about creating
myLeoSettings.leo by default.  Alas, there can't be a setting for this
:-)  I think I'm going to remove this problematic feature.

But I'll be exploring various options as I reform the settings
handling.  This will happen before Leo b4.
