Hi all, I was looking through the new (and IMHO visually much improved) Template Manager again and have come across what appears to be a performance hit and a bug, or at the very least, a non-implemented feature.
My build uses the extra templates provided by Kami's OxygenOffice extension, so I get to see quite a few extra choices in the Template Manager other than the rather underwhelming selection of presentation templates provided by default. The first thing that I noticed is that when you call up the Template Manager, e.g. via the File > Template menu entry, it takes a fairly long time to display the Template Manager dialog, as in more than a minute - this performance hit worries me - the more so because every time you want to save any newly created document as a template, you have to wait the same amount of time for the dialog to display, which is pretty infuriating. The old template manager did not show this lag and was comparably much faster on the same hardware, so for me, this is a fairly important regression. The second thing is that when you want to save a newly created document as a template, the Template Manager dialog is displayed, but I can see no way of creating a new folder to be able to store the template in it, you are forced to use an existing folder or folders. Is this by design, or is the function just not yet visible in the Template Manager dialog ? As this is about to go live with the future release of 4.0, it would be awkward to have yet another performance hit / reduction in functionality compared to the existing tool. Thoughts, comments, appreciated.
