I'll be honest here. I don't have much experience with template files but regardless of whatever convoluted hacks GNOME and KDE use for that, which libfm can support or not depending on the developer's wishes, pcmanfm should have a simple system just like Thunar.
I place a file called 'Foo' in ~/Templates with content 'bar'. AFAICS pcmanfm should simply display 'Create New...'>'Foo', open a rename dialogue and create the new file with 'bar' contents. If libfm tries itself to discover the kind of file (like by extension) the drawbacks are: - impossible to have more than one different template with the same extension. - impossible to choose the most descriptive name for the user. - need specific hacks for the likes of .desktop, .directory etc. files to display their names (a .desktop file in XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR should not look for the 'Name' key). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
