Query: How to add my template in Far Manager ?
By toshant_n, 6 months ago, In English

How to add my template in Far Manager? I don't want to write a python script for that or copy-paste it every time. I have installed True Template, it has some pre-defined templates. I want to add my template to this list.

Perhaps you can create the respective file at templates/source, add it to this config in the same directory, and reload the plugin.

      Yeah, it doesn't.

      The string at line <Expand Name="&amp;Templates should also be extended with \~Template: test=test — or whatever your template is called further, like here:

      <Expand Name="Template: test" At="&AnyWhere;" SubMenu="1" To="\i'$\templates\source\test.cpp'"/>

      Also, the template itself should be in UTF-16 little-endian encoding by default, which may not be your default for other uses.

          Mind the UTF16 encoding, perhaps?..

            How can I create folders of different prewritten codes according to topics and add that folder in that list?

              Guys. I'm not using True Template. Please ask topicstarter for first-hand experience.

                Sorry, I thought that it was a question related to xml.

          open you file in notepad and again click on save as and then their will be a box telling you about the encoding, select UTF 16LE encoding in that and replace the old file with this.

toshant_n Could you please tell how you installed True Template? I added the True Template github files to my Far manager's Plugins directory, but I don't know what I should do next. (there's no dll files for True Template too)
