Today I need your help.
Directory archetypes stopped working for me a long time ago. I tryed for the last week to get it fixed.
Here is my repo.
newPanorama.cmd with panorama.md works.
newPost.cmd with a directory archetype don’t work - I will always get the default.md version.
Thanks.
When you are creating new content based on a Page Bundle structure, as you are for postd, you cannot call the new content function the same way.
Wrong: How you are calling it now in the batch file
hugo new --kind "postd" post\%dirname%\index.md
Correct: How to call Page Bundle archetypes
hugo new --kind "postd" post\%dirname%
The trick is to NOT add the \index.md bit at the end.
Personally, I would make the batch commands between the newPanorama.cmd and newPost.cmd match with:
hugo new -k postd post\%dirname%
Also, I can’t actually run the cmd files because it returns an error:
Error: unknown shorthand flag: 'T' in -Th_testtitle
Thanks, This helps!
OK: If I have a directory archetype - I should define a directory as destination 
@gaetawoo is right. The documentation is weirdly worded around this, but directory archetypes require also the --kind parameter (which is the directory name in the archetypes directory).
I don’t think they require the --kind parameter. Only if your section destination is different that the archetype name. Which is typical. The key is that you cannot create a new index.md you must create a new folder as your content.
Also a hint to any snoopers, if you want to make sure some sub-folders of your page bundle archetype also are created, you need to have a file in them in the archetype. If they are empty, they won’t be created. Just a simple 0 byte .keep file in the folder.
Hmm, I tried around so much and it worked with the kind-parameter, so I gave up the search for the truth I’ll try without next time I write a post.
works without --kind parameter - if archetype name == section name
