Hi Micha, I agree, I also hit this when I create a simple reference map, and use the 'Set current project as default' and 'create a project from default project' sometimes (not always) it seems that I have saved (upon close or so?) my stuff into the template... Which indeed seems odd. My guess would be: you create a template, and after that it is more or less read-only. ONLY if you save a template with the same name, you can change it... Another thing in the template world: sometimes (only default profile?) I have a 'create blank'-template and sometimes it is missing...
