No, I don't think you are missing anything, it works for me on OSX
(Tiger) with Shoes r1091, I get bin/app_name.rb as the default choice
among many. What platform are you running on? I assume that you are
choosing the 'shoes_template' directory in the packager?
Also, I'll admit that I didn't try packaging up the template. When I
did, I noticed that when an extra '/' is included in any pathname to
be require'd some of the requires will fail. It works fine when I
'open -a Shoes bin/app_name.rb' but will fail when the template is
packaged.
It's a minor thing that I will fix this evening and post a fixed
version.

Thanks indeed, it's a great start.
On a related topic, I tried to package the sample app, but the
launch script
listbox doesn't seem to work when selecting a folder to be
packaged. It doesn't
contain anything. Is it broken in the r1091 build? Or is there
something I'm
missing?
Thanks,

Hi Folks,
I've blogged about a little Shoes template that I'd like to share
with
others.
From the blog:
I've been using Shoes for the GUI portions of some small side
projects I've
been writing. In the process I've written a small template/
framework for
starting off new Shoes projects that might be of help to others,
so I'd
like
to present it here.
Features
* Support for ActiveRecord using SQLite3, including -
o Automatic creation of databases in an automatically
created data
directory (auto-database creation courtesy SQLite3)
o Automatic per-environment migrations
o Automatic per-environment loading of fixtures on empty
databases
* A "Tab Bar" which gives the ability to create an MDI-like Shoes
application.
* Automatic loading of classes placed in the 'lib' and 'lib/
shoes'
directory.
* Automatic loading of libraries in the '/vendor' directory
* Automatic naming of application based on the filename found
in the
'/bin' directory
* Automatic generation of a variable representing the
application root
directory, accessible through the 'Environment' module
* Automatic creation of an application data directory, accessible
through
the 'Environment' module
* A console script to allow you to play with your (non-Shoes)
classes
interactively
* Support for RSpec testing of non-Shoes classes
* Rake tasks for running Shoes, RSpec examples and resetting the
database.
