skylark Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I just tried to save a new project template and --instead of Logic happily putting the new template in the chooser-- I was met with a dialog box I never saw (shown below). I've looked for the folder but... no success. Can anyone point me to it? Thanks! Skylark (btw... I've had a couple of these kinda things turn up since updating to High Sierra.)

skylark Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 OK... I found it, but I can't get to it through Logic. The folder is at: ~/ .HFS+ Private Directory Data? > dir_450019 > Project Templates ...but those folders --which are "invisible" folders-- don't show up in the Logic windows. Ideas please?

JurgenFrenz Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Don't worry about the location of the factory default templates - save it to a folder of your choice (why not in User/myname/Music/Logic/ MyTempies) your templates will appear at launch in a separate User Templates folder (screenshot). If you want them to look like factory templates try (I didn't so I don't know if it works) to drag your own template from your own folder into the hidden one and see if it works. I only did that with Logic 8 or so and it did work but I find it pointless now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylark Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 I get that, but... It's not allowing me to save a template anywhere else. If I try to save it anywhere else I get the dialog box that I showed in my original post. Thanks for responding, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JurgenFrenz Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 My bad I didn't read your entire post carefully. What about the default user template folder, does it exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylark Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 default templates.pngMy bad I didn't read your entire post carefully.What about the default user template folder, does it exist? The path I described is pointing to what used to be my default template folder. How it now has that path is beyond me. But that's my old default folder...

Solution Eric Cardenas Posted December 13, 2017 Solution Share Posted December 13, 2017 You’ve run into this issue due to the latest change in file system when updating to High Sierra. Read this article first: Small warning when updating to macOS 10.13 High Sierra - Logic Pro Help If you recognize the issue, try this: Quit Logic Pro X. Delete the Alias ~/Music/Audio Music Apps then create a new folder on this location and give it the name Audio Music Apps. Open the Terminal and paste this code followed by enter: open /.HFS+\ Private\ Directory\ Data?/ A new Finder window will reveal your hidden content. Copy the content inside the 'dir_######' folder and paste it inside your new Audio Music Apps folder. Relaunch Logic Pro X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darude Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I don't have High Sierra, but I've had the 'can't save a template' thing before myself, but in that case I've saved a regular project file and then moved it manually to my templates folder, where Logic finds it on the next launch.
