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 have encountered some strangeness with this. I will check into it and let you know.

I've checked. This is the exact path on my system, and this file actually exists. Now what?Dave Lee wrote:Sounds a bit strange.

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