Insert track from template not doing it for you? Does the File Type drop down help?
So select it and hit open!When I do that the explorer window opens for me to choose a template but my template is not there. If I go to the drop down menu under project templates though its right there.
So select it and hit open!
Did you actually try it? I guess I never have done that, but I have imported whole projects as though they were track templates and it just works. I can't imagine it would work any differently for project templates which are really just projects with a different extension. You didn't ask it to open a new project. You asked it to add tracks, and it will.Lol, yes, it will just open that template as a new project. In just going to copy and paste.
Thanks for the replies!
OK, sorry. I have to say that's pretty much completely fucked. If you open the template, do nothing else, and save it as an actual project, I know for a fact that you could load that in as though it was a track template. I do that all the time, and ass-u-me-d that it would work the same with any valid file type. So, I guess you could save your template as a project (put it in the template folder so you don't have to navigate so far to open it) if this method would work better for you.It looks like if you right click to add a new track it only gives you the option to add a track template, not a project template, which is why I couldnt see my project template. I have a project template saved that is 7 tracks for drums. If I go to the drop down menu file>project templates>(name of project template Im trying to use) it will let me click on it but then it opens a completely new project with that template instead of adding those tracks to that template.
I started a thread over at the Reaper forum about this nonsense inconsistency in the way it handles different file types with "...track from template..." Heading toward either a bug report or feature request cause I think it's stupid.
In the meantime, you could open that project template and either save it as a project or select all the tracks and save them as a track template. After that's done, it will be a couple less clicks inserting them this way compared to copy/pasting between projects.

Well, it's here, but I finally actually tried it myself, and it just works. Don't know what you're doing wrong. :/
Fuuuccclkkkk. Me either. I tried it numerous times to make sure I wasn't being an idiot about it. Now I'll have
To try again and again and again when I get home to make sure.
