Yes, home dir.

As you know now,  none of my templates work in this install.  Your 
analysis is correct, I do not have the tellico-common..xsl file.  

Looking at the last report I printed, the header  makes reference 
to /usr/share/apps/tellico/report-templates/Title_listing[xx].xsl.  So I 
went there, copied tellico-common.xsl to my home directory and now I can 
generate reports.

Your new  Album List.xsl will print out a better list than I was thinking 
of.  Thanks so much.

I don't know just what I did to install Tellico on this distro but 
that /usr/share/.....  location has many files that I assume should be 
copied to my home directory.  My /pics directory is empty, there are some 
50 *png files available,  the tellico root level has 30+ xsl, png etc 
files and two directories, data-sources and entry-templates which aren't 
in my /home tellico direcory.  So somehow I goofed big time.

Would you mind one message, confirming I should copy everything  to my 
tellico home directory?  I am interested seeing the 'tips' displayed,  In 
all the years I have been using Tellico, I don't think I have ever seen 
a 'tip'  pop up, I assume at startup.  A whole new Tellico seems to be 
available.

Again thanks for everything,  lots to checkout this rainy weekend.

Regards
