i've finally taken the plunge and am migrating to 1.3.9h.

when i diff'd my directories and made my lists of changed files, i realized i had a LOT to untangle. i'd put plenty of files in the wrong place and i want to be careful as i clean up into this new version.

i installed the files and set up the databases in development versions on my local and live servers. my databases are patched. i can see both catalogs and admin areas. HOORAY!

now, i've started the process of merging changes into the new version. i began with the stylesheet.css. i merged all the changes from my 1.3.8 sheet into a new one in /includes/templates/my_template/css/.

when i reloaded there was no change. upon investigation, when i uploaded my new stylesheet into /includes/templates/template_default/css the css changed as i expected it should have.

i thought if you created a file in the /my_template/ directory zen cart doesn't use the /template_default/ version of a file.

is there a setting i missed?
