Hi Elaine, they're only saved locally if you modify them and hit the
Save Locally button in the Receipt Template Editor.  The defaults are
distributed by the server, and may be temporarily restored by pressing
the Default button.

As to where they're stored on the file system, the not-so-short answer
is that it varies from machine to machine, based on the operating
system and the user logged into the operating system, and whether
you're using the off-by-default Profile Manager with the staff client.
 On my Windows system here, for example, the file is in this
directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\phasefx\Application
Data\OpenILS\open_ils_staff_client\Profiles\11mpsben.test2\chrome\

phasefx is my Windows username, and 11mpsben.test2 is a mostly random
directory name for my test2 profile (the exact path would be listed
within the more predictable open_ils_staff_client/profiles.ini file).

You could use the File Search feature in Windows and look for a file
with this name: print_list_templates

Though depending on what you want to do with it, it may be easier to
use the Export and Import buttons in the Receipt editor to work with a
copy of the file in a location of your choosing.  It's not really
meant to be human-readable, though.
