Template Section - min requirements to make a template work

Open scottcher opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

I recently tried creating a new template and found the instructions for doing so in the documentation site to have gaps that left me wondering why my template wasn't working as expected.

I suggest adding to the required files section a project file.

When I tried creating a template, I included the info.html file and icon.png file in the meta directory but only include the file I was intending to template from in the main template folder - in my case, the PCB file. When I used the template, what I got was a new project file with a new schema and new PCB file and a copy of my intended PCB template file.

the solution was to include a project file in the template folder but that wasn't clear from the template instructions.
