I have just verified that it's possible to start Leo from outside Leo's installation directory. For example, on Windows I can start Leo from my home directory, and my log pane shows: current dir: C:/Users/edreamleo load dir: C:/leo.repo/leo-editor/leo/core Similarly for Ubuntu. To make this work, I have a "gleo" .bat file (Windows) or script (Ubuntu), that starts Leo from a known location without changing the current directory. On Windows: e.bat: gleo C:\Users\edreamleo\ekr.leo %* gleo.bat: python c:\leo.repo\leo-editor\launchLeo.py --gui=qttabs %* And similarly for Ubuntu. The aliases are: alias e="leo3 ~/ekr.leo" alias gleo="python3 ~/leo.repo/leo-editor/launchLeo.py --gui=qttabs" alias leo3="python3 launchLeo.py --gui=qttabs" HTH.
