templates

In case this is driving you up the wall:

The new Xcode 4 template locations are:

  • /Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/...
  • ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/...

Additionally, Xcode 4 changed the File Templates to use a triple-underscore instead of guillemets. The following tags can be used in File Templates.[1]

___DATE___ Current date (using NSCalendarDate format “%x”).

___DIRECTORY___ Full path of the file’s parent directory.

___FILENAME___ Full file name, as typed by user.

___FILEBASENAME___ File name without the extension.

___FILEBASENAMEASIDENTIFIER___ File name without the extension, mangled to a legal C-style identifier.

___FILEEXTENSION___ Current file’s extension.

___FULLUSERNAME___ Full name of the logged in user.

___PROJECTNAME___ Name of the project to which the file was added (blank if none).

___PROJECTNAMEASIDENTIFIER___ Name of the project, mangled to a legal C-style identifier.

___PROJECTNAMEASXML___ Name of the project, as a valid XML string.

___TIME___ Current time (using NSCalendarDate format “%X”).

___USERNAME___ Account name (“short name”) of the logged in user.
