Lost the default Destination Templates

Post by ccardimon »

In one of my projects, in the Destinations folder, I right-click for the Add Destination window.

Under Template Folders, I see "Factory Templates" and "My Templates."

My Template is empty.

Factory Templates was empty. I somehow put in a template called MyDestination. I don't remember how I did this.

How can I bring back the default Destination Templates?

MyDestination is the default destination. You can rename it and edit its properties and add new destinations, but I don't think you can delete that default destination, although I'm not positive about that (I don't have Flare open at the moment).

Sounds a bit strange.

When you add a new destination and select either Factory Templates or My Templates, it'll show the Source File to the destination file template.

E.g. on my PC the factory template is:
file:///C:/Program Files/MadCap Software/MadCap Flare V3/Flare.app/Resources/English/Templates/Destinations/MyDestination.fldes

Check what this path is on your PC, then check if that file actually exists.

I've checked. This is the exact path on my system, and this file actually exists. Now what?

I'd suggest reinstalling Flare, and if it still doesn't work then contact support.
