Yes, I ended up with

    @path ${NEXTCLOUD}/dir1/dir2
        @file myfile.txt

(I prefer using ${NEXTCLOUD} to $NEXTCLOUD, but that is a very minor point)

one thing I note is that leo says eg:

    wrote file myfile.txt

where I would prefer it wrote the full path.

I now seem to have quite a few files scattered around called 
"{{g.app.homedir}}{{sep}}"...

    J^n
