Apologies for not fully following all of the recent good work here. I meant

independent' part.

On my Linux box, I get something in the lower 'status bar' like(*)

    unl:///home/jkn/path/to/myfile.leo#node-->subnode-->subnode

but when I run on my windows machine, the same file (shared via NextCloud) 
will not be  like this, shurely? What happens if I move my .leo file to a 
different location? Apologies if I am missing something fundamental...


I don't think the concept of operations for the new UNLs has been fully 
worked out yet (Edward may disagree!).  You could think of these old-style 
path-based UNLs to be something like URLs.  They are relative to the server 
(in this case, relative to some file system).  It's an interesting question 
as to what should or would happen for a network file system location.
 

(*) slightly separate point - right click in that area shows 'copy/CTRL+C 
and 'select-all/CTRL+A'. It seems like I have to do CTRL+A followed by 
CTRL+C. I'd suggest that if you have no part of the ... gurl? ... selected, 
then CTRL+C should implicitly select the whole entity before copying


I brought this up in another thread, and the response was that the the 
statusbar code was too tricky to tinker with lightly.  I wanted to have the 
"Copy" item disabled if nothing had been selected.  It's probably a Qt 
thing.
