Unclear how to format User Settings

[AMGitsKriss]

Based on my understanding of the Readme and the default settings file, to add something like a file template, the user settings file should look something like this:

{
    "file_templates": {
        "php": "some string to use"
    }
}

However it seems to have no effect, unless I make the changes in the default settings file. What am I missing here, and can I reference a file instead of a string?

~Thanks!

Hi, Are you putting user file in `Packages/User/AdvancedNewFile.sublime-settings`? If not, please try that.
