* Under Linux, the local templates are in ~/.lyx/templates
I have set this as my templates path in Tools>Settings and
in this dir a symlink to the standard templates.
Nice trick - but user friendliness ought to be the default. When LyX is
installed without tweaks, "new from template" will let you use the
templates that come with LyX (Template button) or the "Documents" button
which merely goes to the home folder. There is no easy way to get at
custom templates stored in the standard location ~/.lyx/templates/
I don't know what limitations qt has, is there only two buttons possible
on this dialog?
If so, the "new from template" dialog should have:
[Std templates] that go to the system templates as usual
[Your templates] that go to ~/.lyx/templates/ instead of ~/
If this isn't possible due to qt constraints, please make [templates] go
to ~/.lyx/templates and have tools->reconfigure create the symlink to
the system template folder. That way, users will have easy access to
both sets of templates without having to set anything up.
Lyx should be able to make new documents based on private or std.
templates, without the user searching for either. And it should not be
necessary to tweak the paths either. Tweaking paths is for those who
have company templates in something like
/mnt/server17/wordprocessing/templates/
