default auto-title setup

I have my customized auto-title setup as my default in prefs, but it is not being selected in a new document.

What might I be doing wrong?

And it was noted in another thread, but is there a bug in setting keyboard shortcuts to auto-titles? It worked for me in a previous version, but now even though I can see the shortcuts in the auto-title menu, they're not working.

Are you sure you did save your auto-title setup? I always forget to do this and then find myself wondering about why they do not appear in other documents…

It would have to be saved to show up in the drop-down list in Preferences (and in the auto-title edit screen), wouldn't it?

Sorry, I thought you would refer to the changes you made to your auto-title setup. My mistake.

Other than that I can only say that it works for me, i.e. when I set an auto-title setup as default in Mellel’s preferences and open a new document, it is the selected setup. No need to quit and restart for the changes to take effect.

10.4.7 PPC and Mellel 2.1.1 (build 3)

Check the template, I'd say. Are you using the same template you set your auto-title setup in for? If I'm right, using a different template will void the default setting in Preferences (you've got to select your flow again in the Edit autotitle flow thingummybob).

Don't have Mellel on this laptop - but I'd say check there first. If not, I don't know either...

Yep, that was it, thanks. I'm sort of experimenting and learning the features as I go, so I'm still kind of clueless!
