I'm so glad. Hope it goes well.

That’s awesome your templates haven’t been overwritten yet. I’ve noticed some updates (minor ones I’m assuming) don’t overwrite it while the other ones do. As to the folder name with the single dot that’s the current directory. There’s also a double dot one to go up a directory. You can learn more about it here: superuser.com/questions/37449/what-are-and-in-a-directory#37451 Hope you have a good week.

@@SimplyKyraBlog ah yeah I figured, but for some reason that dot folder was showing up in the top of my remarkable templates bar (pushing my other folders into the radio button) so I wiped and re-did the process (since I'm not as good as you so quite ill equipped to troubleshoot haha) and this time it came out looking stellar. THANK YOU!! Say, have you had any success adding an "expanding" (when scrolling down) template? wondering if that's where the svg's come in...

@@jkfocusproductions2427 Oh gotcha. Missed where the folder was showing up. Glad you got it working. For next time it's based on your category in the JSON file. Haven't really played around with templates since the last update when they've allowed expandable pages so can't answer your other question but awhile back I created a template with different images for the svg and png to experiment with which was shown. The post can be found here: www.simplykyra.com/which-version-of-the-remarkables-templates-are-emailed-out/

@@SimplyKyraBlog oooooh that makes sense that it was a json bug, in truth I'd just gone through the motions to test and had been way too sloppy in file naming etc so reset was the better move but next time I'll go haystack needle hunting haha. the expandable templates / svg experiment will have to wait for another day... it's already such an upgrade to have my templates -- you're amazing, can't thank you enough !!

Hi. I’m so glad you found this helpful. And yes, every time reMarkable does a software update the custom templates and sleep screen image(s) are removed/reverted while the templates.json file is reset. In another blog post I created a bash script that uploads all the png files I have stored in a directory to my reMarkable and generates the JSON script. Thus when my remarkable resets I can run the script, ssh into the remarkable, paste the new json snippet in, and restart. Still takes time so depends if the changes are worth it for you. I didn’t even think if having to reupload custom fonts too. I wonder, if you create a script, if that could be a part of it to make it simpler. If you’re just doing a couple images I’ve found that the directories/folders and images I add in the home directory don’t reset. You could store the files there for a simple cp command but, if doing templates, you’ll still need to update the template.json file.

@@SimplyKyraBlog thanks for the reply. I just scp the files back everytime when there is an update. I hope they can keep part of the /usr/share/ directories intact with different mounting points during upgrade...

Quick addition. I just remember someone on one of my posts saying that they keep a copy their suspended.png image in the same directory as the suspended.png image so when an update happens they can simply SSH in and copy the file back over the suspended.png without having to upload anything. I've also kept some files on the home directory without losing them on updates. Thus maybe only some sub-directories like `templates` (and wherever you save the fonts) gets affected.

@@SimplyKyraBlog thanks for the update. Yeah saving the files in home directory helps, but if ssh is still needed, It's not different from an scp as it takes no time to transfer the files.

So glad it was helpful. :) Wish I could've helped you more on which bias tape maker is best.
