I've been looking at a couple syncing issues: - between work and home (I currently schlep a laptop back and forth) - between my comfortable, tweaked, gui workstation using heavily customized Leo, and files of interest on bare bone servers.
leo_cloud looks like it will address the first one very nicely. I's a big deal. For the 2nd one I'm using the Gvim scp capability: # gvim scp://user@server//path/to/files/ I've been looking at kludges which would mimic vim's scp:// capability while working from Leo, they mostly involve rsync and inotify, If I was a better programmer I'd try to write @scp-auto and @scp-clean file types. Just saying. Thanks, Kent On Sun, Sep 24, 2017 at 3:40 PM, Terry Brown <terrynbr...@gmail.com> wrote: > The new leo_cloud plugin allows subtrees within a .leo file to be > stored in the cloud.
