Hi Rafael, Rafael Dominguez wrote (26-03-13 16:45) Since the removal of the old template manager dialog, lots of user have complaining that now they cant open external templates for edit.

About the first one i really don't like it at all since the whole point of the template manager is to manage templates inside the libreoffice profile, so just adding an option to open an external template through it, just feel wrong and misplaced, Understand this. also it takes more effort, open the template manager, then click on the required menu and then search for the desired template. Instead the second one feels more natural and logical, we click on the open file, search the desired file and then just mark the option to edit the template, what we normally do when opening a file. Two other possibilities: 1. Shift + OK opens for editing 2. select type template + OK opens for editing. Thee do not need an extra checkbox (I guess that is what you mean with just mark the option to edit the template). My opinion is to go for the second option for the reasons stated above. Still, the risk is that functionality for templates is a bit spread over the application. It's too late now, but will find some time this week to look at the other open issues and see if there is some reason to think about/possibility to have bundling of those.

As I wrote in fdo 61396 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61396 Why add a feature when there is *already* one : selection of the type template in the Open dialog ?
