What happened to the template manager in 4.0.2.2?

[SillyUncleWilly]

Hello!

I’m trying to organize my templates in 4.0.2.2 under Windows XP SP3.

For starters, the help files tell me the manager is available via file > templates > organize. But there is no templates menu entry.

After a couple of G&Ts, I looked at the Getting Started guide, which directed me to try file > new > templates. This brings up a “minimalist” manager that doesn’t look at all like the manager in the docs. There are no pretty buttons to create folders and the like.

Is the template manager still a work-in-progress?

Thanks!

Bill

@SillyUncleWilly - this is a non-answer to your question (so risking wrath of Q&A police), but it might help all the same:

There are no pretty buttons to create folders and the like.

True enough. On this particular point, it can be done by selecting an existing template. Then you get a set of tools, including “Move to folder”, and one of those options is to create a new folder:

It seems empty folders are not displayed. (I’m on Lubuntu at the moment, btw.)

FWIW.
