Problem saving changes/new .leo files on Windows

[vili]

Hi everybody,

Despite I am no programmer, I have been using Leo for some years now
as my "Intelligent PIM" - I organize my (complex) life with Leo.

Many thanks to Edward and others for the great application.

Installing (a new version) of Leo was allways a bit of challenge for
me. As a non-programmer I use Windows, I like automatic installers,
and I don´t quite understand what binaries and other stuff is.

Today I wanted to upgrade from 4.9 to Leo-4.10-final, which is the
latest exe on SourceForge but I figured out that

Leo-4.10-final does not save any changes made to the file and it doesn
´t save also any new files!

I tried also with "a nightly snapshot from Leo’s snapshots page" - the
same story. I reinstalled python and qt, but still the same problem. I
installed back the 4.9 version from SourceForge and that worked fine
again.

Some data from log:
Leo 4.10 final, build 5020, 2012-02-26 13:18:08 -0600
Python 3.2.3, qt version 4.8.0
Windows 6, 1, 7601, 2, Service Pack 1

Its kind of weird for me that no one reported this problem earlier.

BR, Vili

To my knowledge this is the first report of this kind of issue. I
can't think of any explanation for this other than file permissions
(but I don't understand very much about how Leo works either; my
programming skills are very minimal).

Have you tried creating a new .leo file from scratch and saving it?
And does the log window have any warnings or error messages? I'm
wondering if maybe there is something in particular about your data
files it is getting confused about.

cheers,

I faced the same problem as well and my configuration is exactly
identical to yours.
Workaround I did was start the leo from command line
C:\Python32\python.exe "C:\Python32\Lib\site-packages\Leo-4.10-final
\launchLeo.py"
Default is to start the pythonW.exe, which does not work for some
reason still trying to identify why it is behaving this way.
Now I am able to save like before.

Also newly added Alt+x Global-search(whoosh), was not able to do fts
add/init. however it does search the currently opened one.

Yes, I have. It does not save.

No, in log window nothing happens when I pres "ctrl-s". And of course the star near the name of the file does not disappear.

Hi Raj,

>Workaround I did was start the leo from command line

C:\Python32\python.exe "C:\Python32\Lib\site-packages\Leo-4.10-final
\launchLeo.py"

this workaround of yours works for me also! It is not comfortable at all, but it works!

Good luck with figuring out what the problem is.

Thanks, Vili

 Relevant past thread, also search this group for "batch".

Hi, 

I also experienced this issue today after upgrading from Leo 4.8-final to Leo 4.10-final. 

The workaround still does the job.
