Project from template?

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Tried with various Debian based Linux distributions and Gnome 2 desktop.

The button create project from template doesn't work for me. Judging from the Mail Archives it is lacking in functionality but I seem to have less functions still. I can save a project as template but I can't open it as template from within LMMS. I have to start LMMS by choosing the template from the file manager.
If I know the name/place of the template file I can open it from within LMMS as the built-in file manager won't show .mpt files but will open it anyway.

I've seen reports of problems with the template function as a whole as it doesn't seem to be fully implemented but isn't the "Create new project from template" button supposed to work?
afaik that button , just as the 'record' is 'things to come :P'
in respect to 'open from file manager' you should never do that!
You loose all handles to vsts in the project, and if you then save.... autch
gone baby ..all gone...
I wrote this in the wiki, with some explanation stuff, but that may also be
gone baby ..all gone... :p
