If I understood this right,The proposed solution is,Just drop empty files from various apps in the templates folder?
Dropping the empty files in templates folder , just to add them to the list is *blatant abuse* of "Templates" . *Templates are supposed to be user or company specific* , something that already has a format, and just needs an edit to be finished. Upstream has been right to reject this and not to populate the create document option. *Templates are not empty files* and *this is a wrong approach* . If this option is confusing or difficult to use, its better if this item 'Create Documents' is removed! As already pointed out, The *only* user-friendly solution is, if the a menu item actually points to the "New" of the app, ie: when the user selects , 'New document' , the app directly opens with an empty file. The "Windows way" of creating new documents is not user-friendly: 1: User *has to rename a file* 2: User has to open the file after the initial select of > Create Document. No-one actually simply creates an empty files, users want to work on the new Documents. I'd say rather than taking shortcuts and dropping files into templates , we could implement a feature which is actually user friendly. -- "Create Document" Templates difficult to use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372132 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
