File->Export->write failed due to incorrect path

[bpursley]

My .leo file was saved to location /pa/xxx.leo in a linux environment using
leo-editor revision 1853.

I then proceeded to export the node to HTML.

In both
File->Export->Save Outline as HTML
File->Export->Save Node as HTML
the write failed due to each export function
inserting an incorrect path.

The correct path should have been: /pa/xxx.html

The path appearing in the log was /pa/c:/xxx.html

Thanks for this report. Am I correct in assuming you are using a Windows
machine?

No. I am using native Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04). I do not have windows on this machine – nor have I for over two years:

If it helps in your trouble-shooting:

I do not use the default location for either storing or installing Leo. As I consider Leo part of my development environment, all of my Leo & Sphinx development is in its own Virtualenv .

Virtualenv allows me to leave Ubuntu in an undisturbed state and I am free to create as many unique development environments as I wish. I have a Leo launcher which executes the following .sh script:

cd /pa
 . /pa/ENV/bin/activate
python /pa/leo-bzr/leo-editor/launchLeo.py --gui=qt --ipython

The above script utilizes my python code from /pa/ENV/lib/python2.6/ to launch Leo which is kept fairly current using bzr pull. Though I know it is not necessary, I have on occasion installed Leo to /pa/ENV for some activities rather than your default location of /usr/local. However, the above error occurred in the launched leo-editor. Most of my current .leo files are located in the /pa directory.

Hope this helps. Thank you for your attention to this problem.

I'm going to mark this invalid, although the behavior of the plugin is way too confusing.

I added the following to the plugin's docstring:

QQQ
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At present, the file leo/plugins/leo_to_html.ini contains configuration settings.
In particular, the default export path, "c:\" must be changed for *nix systems.
QQQ

Furthermore, the plugin should use settings in leoSettings.leo rather than a wretched .ini file. I'm not going to fix this now, but it would be good if the plugin's author would make the conversion.

I've just bumped into this bug too.
