Ubuntu Tweak

[everready]

Linux is a terrific OS the applications it offers boggles my mind.. one of these extras called Ubuntu Tweak is telling me something isn't quite right its called managing templates.. its located on the left side of the window in a column that's called "Personal" herein lies my problem..

The Templates path is incorrect!

You see its telling me that the Templates path is incorrect, the word "Templates" is missing at the end of the string. I want to add it but i don't see a way to edit it, are you familiar with Ubuntu Tweak?

Templates/home/username/

When it should read like the others.. for instance..

"Video/home/username/Video"

"Documents/home/username/Documents"

What would you suggest?

Tia my friend, this information is great, but I'm still stuck in a Windows mentality where everything is done more or less automatically..

Did you read the hint at the bottom of the editor? Press Ctrl+X, then Y when asked to save changes. Done.

No i didn't, don't remember seeing it but I'll go back and have a look around..

Thanks!
