This is more of a Mac question than a TeX question, I think.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have in the past made use of many templates which I have created as .sty files.</div>
<div class="">I store them in a file called “My Templates” on Dropbox.</div>
<div class="">Recently, I wrote a new one (for a new purpose) and put it there.</div>
<div class="">But when I open a new document in TeX and click on the “Templates” button,</div>
<div class="">in contrast to past behavior, that new file is not listed (all the old ones are).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I tried quitting TeXShop and also restarting the computer, and neither seems to make a difference.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any suggestions where to look for the problem?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Also, I am quite naive about the optimal way to store files being used by TeXShop; for example</div>
<div class="">my own macros are in another folder in Dropbox called “Macros”, and inside that, “MyMacros”></div>
<div class="">This is because I know how to find these files when I need to consult or modify them.</div>
<div class="">I would welcome suggestions about a more efficient way to store these.<br class="">
