Electron documentation on best practices for security

To my knowledge, none of us earn a living working on Leo and related projects, which means leveraging pre-existing code saves one the effort of reimplementing that. Electron may prove to be immensely useful for Leo and related projects such as a desktop application made from LeoVue. Since I

Re: Pyenchant does *not* work for Windows 64-bit systems

I had pyenchant 1.6.8 installed. I uninstalled it. Leo fails to load with this error, when pyenchant is not installed: N:\git\leo-editor>launchleo.py reading settings in N:\git\leo-editor\leo\config\leoSettings.leo reading settings in C:\Users\lewis\.leo\myLeoSettings.leo Empty setting name in

Just a few quick notes, will add more later. For those working on the electron approach, did you see this: https://www.fyears.org/2017/02/electron-as-gui-of-python-apps-updated.html I'm swamped with a new project so I won't be able to work on this for a bit. But I am planning on adding form.io

Re: Electron, not for web apps.?

What Electron hast to offer more than a Chrome browser is ability to write and read local files without user intervention. To save file from browser, user must click download link and then choose where to save file or set preference to download all files in the same folder, and after

Re: Electron, not for web apps.?

Using Electron allows reading and writing local files much easier then from browser. Accessing local file system can be done through python back-end, but it would add a lot of complicated inter-process communication (which need to be tested, debugged,...) instead of directly reading and writing

Matt, how do I review your docs?

Working on a new spell checker

I am going to take time out from all the great discussions to work on a new spell checker for Leo. I was going to say that pyenchant is preventing a 64-bit distribution on Windows. But no, there isn't going to *be *a pyinstaller version of Leo on Windows, for other reasons. Still, I

Wishing we were cubicle mates ;-)

There are times when I wish all of us Leo devs occupied nearby cubicles. This is one of those times, when we are discussing new directions for Leo. Not because we could have (ugh) meetings, but because we could just chat in person. There was scientific research, reported, iirc, in Nature or

Use this forum when you want more people to see your posts

Recently I said that all kinds of issues are welcome on Leo's issue tracker . That's will always be so. However, more people likely follow this forum than the issue tracker, so if you want the most people to read your comments or question, this

Re: NEW: CSV editor

This is great! What would be an awesome way to use this would be if the CSV editor widget could be automatically activated in the edit pane for nodes with a table, so one can quickly switch between text and table/csv nodes. Maybe just for "@csv" nodes or so. Would something like that be
