Adding custom less files

Searched for this and couldn't find anything, sorry if this has already been answered.
The very bottom of docs.gantry.org/gantry4/advanced/less-css seems to imply that I can create a file with a name like my-custom.less in the {theme name}/less directory, and it will automagically get picked up by the less compiler and included in the compiled .css files in the css-compiled directory. So I created a test .less file (rpr-custom.less), went into the Gantry Advanced menu from the dashboard and cleared the cache, and revisited the site. The timestamps on the files in the css-compiled director are updated, so I believe they were regenerated, but the styles from rpr-custom.less are nowhere to be found.
Is this actually supposed to work? Am I missing a step somewhere? Or is this just a Joomla feature that isn't supposed to work in the WordPress version?
I realize I can add custom css in the Style tab of my theme settings, but I'd prefer to do this in a file I can edit with a real editor.
Thanks,
-Rob
Edit: apparently the filename has to be associated with one of the filenames already present. So template-custom.less gets found, but rpr-custom.less does not. Go figure. - Last Edit: 9 years 9 months ago by Robert Reichel.
