error, in logs,

[09-Apr-2023 15:38:46 UTC] [ Timber ] Error loading your template files: front-page.twig, home.twig, index.twig. Make sure one of these files exists.

Is usage of Timber::$dirname incorrect or not-sufficient? or a bug?

Hello @pgnd 👋🏻

Maybe 2.x-revert-theme-subfolder branch has a bug ...
It is just a draft PR #139.

[pgnd]

@szepeviktor

yup.

i just started setting up for a new dev proj, and wanted to test.

seemed to my read that #139, related to the discuss @ timber/timber#2458, was to be a done deal
