Ed – I was on the same trail as you, trying to work out how to create custom templates in my theme folder structure.
I found that putting a template in “\wp-content\themes\my-theme\download-manager\link-templates” does work, as long as I give it a file name that didn’t exist in the plugin’s folder, and that the comment line at the top of my custom template is unique.
By the way, I’m not planning to use the page templates at present so I can’t comment on whether its easy to customise them.
Maybe that helps, or at least gives you some hope … I’m still checking that everything is in order, so if I find something weird, I’ll post again.
