my own templates don't show up in template chooser

[inkfountain]

I saved a couple of documents as templates, but they do not show up on the chooser when I try to create  a new document from a template. I can find them in the folder where I stored them on my computer. How can I make them show up in the template chooser? Where am I going wrong?

hi inkfountain

did you tell scribus where to find them? ('preferences' → 'paths' → 'document templates')

I did, but that did nothing.
I deleted everything in the templates folder and started over and that worked.
