There are several instances of os.chdir and g.chdir in c.open,
c.save, the read, import, export logic and in several global
functions. Thus, Leo does not typically depend on the current
directory--it sets the current directory as needed. The **tentative**
conclusion is that setting os.chdir automatically in the
execute-script would be safe.
However, changing the execute-script logic could change the meaning of
existing scripts. I don't think it is wise.
It should be easy enough to set the path explicitly in a script as
needed using::
import os
d = c.scanAllDirectives(p) # use c.p if p is omitted.
path = d.get('path')
if path: os.chdir(path)
However, c.scanDirectives returns a default if there is no @path, so
maybe this isn't so convenient, but that doesn't change my conclusion.
