I should know the answer to this but apparently have forgotten. Is there any way to modify the
"New from Template" dialog so that local templates (in ~/.lyx/templates on Linux) are one
click away? Alternatively, is there a way to add to the list of directory shortcuts on the left
side of the dialog (currently "Computer" and my home directory)?
My alternate solution is to change the template directory to the local
templates in your home directory and place a symbolic link to the system
template dir inside it. That way you can reach both places quickly. On a Mac
this is done automatically on first configuration. Unfortunately there is no
(known) API to modify the list of directory shortcuts on the left side of the
dialog automatically.

Thanks, Stephan. That's a good work-around. It would be nice if the
paths settings in preferences accepted multiple directories using the
same syntax that the operating system paths use (colon separators in
Linux) and at least populated the "Look in" select box with them, if not
the shortcuts on the right-hand side.
