Is this a feature, or a useful bug? Do @file nodes really store a
"mirror" of the content in the .leo file?

Would it be ok to switch to a workflow where you converted all the
@thin nodes to @@thin nodes for archival purposes (so that they will
be stored in the .leo file), and convert them back to @thin nodes when
you actually want to write them? This could be done by a few
@buttons/commands, and would be in a bit more solid foundation than
using @file.

Alternatively, you could use @nosent and convert to @thin if you want
to "read back" the file.
