I created a template for an existing project (Roman 1), but that template doesn’t open New Project. Another template I created for another project (Roman 2) opens fine. What’s wrong? Maybe I made a mistake when I created the project (Roman 1), and that’s why its template doesn’t work? If so, what could it be? ---

Why not recreate the Roman 1 template from the source material again. That might be quicker than futzing with the template to figure why it will not open. Your right it could be a simple mistake or wrong keyboard stroke. ---

What version of Scrivener on what platform? In what way does the template not work? Crash? Error message? Nothing at all?
