Opening a new Main Window should make them work, as should exiting fully out of Sigil then starting it back up.
After adding the template files, I exited fully out of Sigil then started it back up. I tried this multiple times, so that's not it.

I played around with this, and interestingly, for me at least, the problem only occurs when I'm working in EPUB3 (which I do almost exclusively, whether creating new epub or editing existing epub). When I create a new EPUB2, the templates work fine. This is with both a clean install and with my pre-existing Sigil preference folder. (I believe the reason it worked when I initially did a clean install is because clean install defaults to EPUB2.)

This seems odd to me, as I figure most testers are working with EPUB3. Am I the only one where the templates only work with EPUB2 and don't work with EPUB3?
