I found different behavior of ${framework} and ${frameworkDir} editor variables when I tried set path to document templates directory.

If ${frameworkDir} is used in framework extension file (.exf), templates from specified directory are shown in the list of the available templates.
When I use ${framework} variable in framework extension file (.exf), templates from specified directory are not available in the list of the templates.
When the framework is build (zipped) and delivered as an Add-on (via web page), all installed templates are shown when ${framework} variable is used.

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this issue. The problem is that document template folders must be specified as file system paths, not URLs, so $frameworkDir should be used. Unfortunately, there is no indication of this in the *.exf file. The tooltips suggest that either option can be used, which is misleading. I will open an issue to handle both variables properly.

When the framework is build (zipped) and delivered as an Add-on (via web page), all installed templates are shown when ${framework} variable is used.

Based on my tests, this does not appear to be the case. The $framework variable does not work, regardless of whether the framework is compiled at runtime or built in advance.

Best regards,
Alex
