   I've got this all setup, have had it working in the past, but now I can't get my custom template to work for some reason. I've created a template called slideshow and I'm using the jquery cycle library along with this jquery thumbnail scroller (http://manos.malihu.gr/jquery-thumbnail-scroller) to achieve my desired needs. Currently my template is residing in the /wp-content/ directory. I can select this template through all the backend options but when it comes to being displayed on the front-end File-Gallery seems to default to either the 'default' or 'simple' templates. Anyone else experience this? I've read through the post about new templates not being recognized (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-new-templates-not-recognized-and-settings-ignored?replies=26) but that really doesn't help any of my issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

   I'm currently running WP 3.3 and FG 1.7.3

   As a side note, I tried disabling all other plugins and switching to a standard WP theme, TwentyTen, and still couldn't get this to work. It must be something in the way I'm writing my template?

   @donaldG2: are you using [gallery] shortcode within a post, or calling the file_gallery_shortcode() function from a template?

   If you could post a link to an example page where the custom template isn't recognized, that would be of great help.

   Thanks :)

   Hey, sorry for causing a big stink over nothing! When I went to upload this to my live site it worked. There's just something screwy with my local environment. Sorry for all the fuss! I'll close this topic if I can figure out how, heh.
