That's what I have been trying to say. You can't replace templates with plugins because templates are plugins.
Which is why I wrote: "This is a basically a UI question and how people interact with creation of projects."
I think Diego knows this (he can chime in as to what he meant). I personally think the term "template" is fine, but I would like the current VFX template to use the new plugins rather what it is using now.
To be clear: the current vfx template that is used is in a .zip file in "<install_dir>/src/install/start/template/vfx-1.0.0.zip". If you unzip this file, you will see it is just a plugin.
The "plugins" that Diego and I have been updating are located in "<install_dir>/src/plugins/TACTIC/vfx" and this is what the project template should be using when selecting VFX.
None of what I am saying has anything to do with creating your own templates. These use the above commands that I mentioned which generate a plugin specific to your project template. When selecting a new project with this template, all TACTIC does is create a new project and instantiate your template plugins.
