Thanks for the reply.

What you say probably explains it, I didn't know the Template directory had
that function. I have 2122 directories and 36281 files in my Projects
folder, which take up around 6G of space. Crawling through all of that would
take quite a bit of time and could use a lot of resources.

This is probably not a bug, but a user error. :)

Cheers,

  Ragnar

P.s. I may just begin using the Templates folder the way it was intended
from now on. :)
