Yes, normpath uses backslashes on Windows. But it only returns something
for a file, not for a node that is an *@path* node and not a file. For
opening a directory, that's not quite what we want, and we still need the
os.getcwd() to get the non-file directory paths anyway. So we might as

Maybe this is beating the a dead horse, but os.getcwd() returns the actual

is selected, Leo changes the current directory to the path for that node.
That would explain why "." works as well.
I don't know if this behavio
OK, after some more testing and thought:
1. Edward's example can't work as claimed, even if '.' is replaced by *path*.
The expression for *path* returns a path that a) has forward slashes and
won't work in Windows when you open explorer on it - confirmed by test with
both a console and in Leo
But in your snippet, you also use "." without (apparently) changing it.
import os
from subprocess import run
path = g.fullPath(c, p) or os.path.abspath('.')
cmd = ['explorer.exe', '.']
run(cmd)
How is that supposed to work? Wouldn't you want to use *path* instead of
"."?

But I suppose it would be better to use a more comprehensive method in case
you accidentally delete this "feature" in the future.

Well, it's more than that. Using "." works for @path subtrees that are not
even on the same drive (that is, Windows drive) as the leo outline they are
in. It's not just that "." sends you to the directory, say for the
workbook in *%USERPROFILE%\.leo* (Windows). In the workbook outline at

Neat! I will try this.
BTW, I think 'xdg-open' as a command should do this in a
window-manager-agnostic way under (most?) linuxes. I'll give it a try...

I believe '.' is interpreted in the context of the OS -- which on both
Linux and Windows evaluates to the same as the current working directory.
I am unsure how or why the 'run(cmd)' portion is executed in the context of
the current node's path, but if it is, '.' should expand at the OS level to

Here's what I have been doing to create files in directory trees. It seems

2. Create a path with the headline *@path bbb*. Indent it right, under the

to the mysettings files.
