How to add layouts into folders

[HammyNZ]

Is there a way to add layouts into separate folders and be able to specify them with in a document.

Example:
I would like to have the following directory structure for my layouts:

src/layouts/template1/default.html.eco
src/layouts/template1/...

and

src/layouts/template2/default.html.eco
src/layouts/template2/...

Then is there a way to specify these layouts from their specified folder locations e.g

---
title: 'Page Title'
layout: 'template2/default'

---
...

This should already work... doesn't it?

[dospuntocero]

it does sound like an ordering overkill to me... whats the point of doing something like that??
why not something like:

left-column-right-sidebar.html.eco
one-big-column.html.eco
etc...

instead of naming all template[something]/default.html.eco
you will end with 100s defaults... and nothing helping you to identify which one is the one you wanted...

it doesn't have much sense (at least to me...)

When I tried this at work it didn't seem to work and come up with an error. I'll come back with specifics tomorrow when I'm back in the office.

@dospuntocero
Not what I quite meant, I want to be able to set up 2 different versions of templates grouped by theme

src/layouts/theme1/default.html.eco
src/layouts/theme1/landing.html.eco
src/layouts/theme1/homepage.html.eco
src/layouts/theme1/...

and

src/layouts/theme2/default.html.eco
src/layouts/theme2/landing.html.eco
src/layouts/theme2/homepage.html.eco
src/layouts/theme2/......

Added some tests to the core test suite, definitely working on my side. Actually, I should test this on windows, as you may have to do: layout: "a\\b\\c\\layout-nested" on windows instead of layout: "a/b/c/layout-nested"

Yep, above suspiscion is correct. Will need to normalize this.

Fixed in v6.42.2

Just tried the above suggestion, but double slashes didn't seem to work on my windows installation (I believe I'm running Docpad v6.34.2).

Works if you use only single slashes: layout: "a\b\c\layout-nested" instead of layout: "a/b/c/layout-nested"

Thanks for leading me in the right direction :)
