Understandable. Another configure option for this would be stupid, IMHO.
This is a thing which should not need to be adjusted by the user. And
hidden options are ugly as well. The only thing I can imagine is an
option "[ ] Use Nautilus templates" which adds ~/Templates to the
include/search path.
If we'd go for 2) the ~/Templates folder still would be scanned and
therewith the reasons for implementing 2) would still exist and cause
problems. It's a difficult decision.
I vote for using
1. $XDG_DATA_HOME/Thunar/Templates
2. /usr/share/Thunar/ (or something like that; additionally, for
global templates)
and dropping Nautilus compatibility here. I'd even offer myself for
creating a buch default templates for the Thunar distribution. Yet, I
wonder if the global (default) ones can be created by the auto* tools
(or a self-written shell or python script) during installation, based on
properly translated names.
