Thanks for the input.
I don't have a Mac, so I can't help much, but I can speak a bit about the *@path > ~* matter. This does work on Linux.

If so, you can change this behavior by adding a node to > your MyLeoSettings.leo file.

So if my outline file is in "/Users/leodude/projects/coolproj/" the structure gets created as: "/Users/leodude/projects/coolproj/*~*/aaa/bbb/ccc/test1.txt" instead of ""/Users/leodude/aaa/bbb/ccc/test1.txt" like I expect. Using *'.'* works as expected (cwd) and is arguably more useful than referencing "home dir" in most cases. > There are Mac users who seem to have good success using Leo, so it ought > to workable for you.
