I suspect lots of people don't use clones because they seem too mysterious.
This post will be pre-writing for FAQ and tutorial discussions of clones. It's really, really easy. Q: When can I delete a clone safely? A: Any time! The only time you can "lose" data is when you delete a *non-cloned* node, save your work and exit Leo. Q: What gets "lost" when I delete a non-cloned node? A: The node, and all it's *non-cloned* children. In addition, if the node contains *all* clones of a cloned node, all copies of the cloned node will also be "lost". Q: Anything else I should be careful about concerning clones? Not really. If you move *any* node out "underneath" an @file (@clean, etc) node, the contents of that node disappears from the external file. I hope this encourages more people to use clones. Leo's clone-find commands are something that every Leo programmers should be using every day. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
