I just tried making a self-contained Leo installer for Windows with PyInstaller. the executable failed with this error: File "leo\core\leoApp.py", line 1853, in reportDirectories g.es(f"{kind:>10}:", os.path.normpath(theDir), color='blue')

I think it's not too hard on Windows, but that installer wouldn't work on a Mac. Without actually having a Mac, I don't see how it would be possible. Linux is a whole other kettle of fish. It's only on Linux that I've ever had any trouble. On Windows, getting Leo going hasn't fought back for

Echo what @Paul said about an installer. I believe the biggest obstacle to higher adoption of Leo isn't how to `use` Leo`, but how to install it. Every time I need to install on a new machine, I dread it! Consider Picard , a music tagging application. It is a Pyt

Thanks! Partly I'm motivated by the experience of opening a new program, seeing the window, and not being able to do a thing. It's so frustrating! I've had that happen a few times too many, and I wouldn't want new Leo users to go through it. And partly because it's so hard to give non-Leois

I don't use Leo for that. I suppose I could, but I don't know how to create a suitable script. I'm on Windows, so I use Texnic Center to create the documents (PDFs). It's easy enough and allows for projects w/ multiple related documents. Perhaps I could write up m
