Re: Leo as a Database

Maybe it doesn't do what I want (I still am quite puzzled with leo, and don't understand most of it, just discovered i t recently and played a bit messing things up), but in the new 6.6, the "Save As" choices seems different : instead of zipped or not, now I see ... JSON/XML/SQLite.. It looks

Re: usinf Linux signals to cause Leo to eg. save files?

2022-03-30 Thread Christophe Vermeulen
Agree signals are definitely not the way. I would also avoid a complex integration with any "version control system" into leo. BUT that could be an argument to consider using SQLite concepts in leo, because there are mechanisms there with transactions etc that could be useful. On Wednesday,

I like the idea, and I was probably even to some extent thinking of that sort of usage when considering "leo as a PIM". But you see, this approach is likely asking for trouble in many ways. Just a few examples : - aren't you reinventing the wheel to a large extent ? Using your :key: syntax is

I don't think anyone is going to do much more documentation - and it would be hard to organize in a way that is both helpful and practical to search. > if you want to do some Sphinx-style documentation > Actually, I discovered the existence of Sphinx as a side effect of my discovery of leo.

Re: How did I came across Leo?

2022-03-22 Thread Christophe Vermeulen
Well, I came across leo last week, looking for a python IDE that would (potentially) - run on Windows - allow to make the resulting python run on a separate computer (same network but different subnet) for security reasons, maybe on Linux. - ideally, the python script could run with another

Using leo to _refactor_ Arduino c++ code and libraries. A bad idea ?

2022-03-22 Thread Christophe Vermeulen
OK. Soo, one of my back burner projects (I'm only doing telecoms on the front burners, I'm not a programmer though I started programming in 1987) is to refactor a project using 8-bit RF-capable Arduinos in an IoT network. I'm still not sure leo is the right tool for that, but it could be, as

Definitely, and I appreciate your (and Edward's) responsiveness and openness. I don't grasp everything in your message (yet), I only installed leo on one computer yesterday and was a bit surprised to see it (pip actually) download PyQt5 just after I had manually installed PyQt6, and ... not

It doesn't surprise me. That's indeed the strength of the Brain (to me), it is basically a mindmap but with the *current thought* as the center, it's not hierarchical. In that sense it is different from an outlook. OTOH, in zettelkasten I get the impression that the focus is on the taking of

I don't consider myself as a leo specialist, but I firmly believe that you should support Edward and Offray positions. If you would _Ever_ neet to embed .leo and external files together in something more powerful than a zip file, go for the SQLite app format, and don't DON'T reinvent a new
