Nemo templates not working

[wibus]

hi,

I wanted to add templates to the right click > New Document menu.
according to Google there should be a folder in home called 'Templates'.
it wasn't there, so I created it and put empty documents like "New PHP.php" (I have a couple more, like new OpenOffice Document.doc etc)
nothing changed, so I tried reinstalling nemo, still nothing.
if I go to Go > Templates it just opens my Home folder.

I have restarted and still nothing.
does someone know what I could do?

Hi!
same for me. I probably deleted "Modèles" folder since I never use it, but now I want to use the context menu to create LibreOffice files.
What doe's have the original folder special, or where should we mention it to be recognized?

You've been a bad boy
Delete the 'Templates' that you created.
Type this in a terminal:

Code: Select all

gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Make sure

Code: Select all

XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"

is listed. If it isn't, add it. Then hope for good things to happen.

gedit is not installed by default on mint, use xed instead
