New from Template Manager

With this menu item you open the following dialog where you can load template documents and continue editing them. Therefore, you have to save such templates first using Save as Template.

Templates Categories

In the left part of the dialog you see different categories for different projects. The categories named iCalamus 1.x and/or iCalamus 2.x have been created by iCalamus when it copied your old templates. You can create more categories or rename and delete existing categories. A right-click in the categories area opens a context menu with the relevant functions.

Important: Please keep in mind that when you delete a category, all templates placed in this category will be deleted, too.

Templates Preview

The right dialog area shows previews of the first page(s) of your template documents as well as the template file names. You can rename and delete templates. A right-click on a template opens a context menu with the relevant functions. You can also move templates from one category to another, by simply dragging it with the mouse to the desired category in the left area.

Templates Filter

In the Filter menu above the preview list you can define a document type from which you want to see templates.

New Blank Document

If no template fits your needs for a distinct purpose, just click the button New Blank Document in the left bottom corner of the dialog to open the default dialog for new documents.

Hint: Templates are basically saved on a single, distinct place on your main hard drive. This path is ~/Library/Containers/net.icalamus.iCalamus2/Data/Library/Application Support/iCalamus/Templates/. iCalamus creates a folder named User Templates there by default. (The folder ~ stands for the path to your user folder under OS X.)
