It's OK. As for the improvements to the UI, several were suggested in old posts. What I remember is: * letting the user change the UI settings directly from the menu, without having to manually edit settings files * customizing node icons, to reflect the node type, also (optionally) replacing the leading note type (e.g. @rich) marker, which would become invisible but there were more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups leo-editor group.

Re: Plan for 2015
There you are wrong Dufriz, Edward recently spent several months focusing on improving the manuals, videos and docs, and made Leo more intuitive to use. But Leo has so many features, that it is still required an intensive study to begin to use many of them (or even realize they exist). I encourage you to suggest specific improvements, since Edward is often very open to those when they make sense. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups leo-editor group.

As you imply, there is a never-ending tension between adding new features and making things easier for both newbies and power users. There is no magic answer for this problem, but that does not mean that the problem can be dismissed. Is there some part of Leo that particularly troubles you? Some of Leo's best features arose from making things simple. I'm particularly thinking of @button nodes, even though the code to make them happen is surprisingly complex. For me, it the biggest offender as far unhelpful complexity goes is the @rst machinery, particularly all the settings that I never use, except to set them and forget them. These settings were intended to make Leo's @rst trees more flexible, but maybe they just make @rst trees more sclerotic ;-) Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups leo-editor group.

Re: Plan for 2015
What about making Leo more user friendly, for a change? All the improvements to Leo have always been in the direction of adding new features. It's about time you developers concentrate a bit more on user friendliness (UI, etc). This will certainly attract more users. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups leo-editor group.

Re: Plan for 2015
Sounds like an interesting year coming up! Re: On my walks on the Naples beach I saw that the key problem in collaboration with Leo is the interaction of Leonine users with non-Leonine users. That's sort of what I mentioned earlier, about using Leo on the desktop, and somehow syncing my Leo projects with an Android outliner like NoteLynx. (Or maybe even better, Leo for Android?)

That's sort of what I mentioned earlier, about using Leo on the desktop, and somehow syncing my Leo projects with an Android outliner like NoteLynx. They are two separate problems. The problem I was talking about is this: how does a user of Leo handle changes made to external files by non-Leo users. At present, the two main solutions are @auto and @shadow. Neither is perfect.
