I have the following structure in a custom theme:
- src
- src/templates
- templates

The /src/templates are compiled into the /templates dir using Grunt. However the files from /src/templates are actually the files which get loaded.

I thought it may be parsing the folders alphabetically, so I renamed src to zzz, run a flush=all, and still the template from zzz/templates was the file loaded.

It wasn't until I renamed zzz/templates to zzz/nottemplates that the correct templates/Page.ss was loaded.

Why are sub folders checked for template directories? Surely this a reasonable performance hit checking every subfolder except the real templates for it's own templates directory?

As it's part of the manifest, it's only a performance hit on flush. If you include a _manifest_exclude_ file in src/templates that should get it ignored.

Thanks Willr, I had to remove the trailing _ but it worked a treat, cheers :)
