The killer feature for templates to work is that the implementation should, right after you have named your newly created file, launch an editing application so you can edit the file. Thus, the user is hinted and can know that creating a new file entails working on it. Hope it helps productivity around the world. > > Templates are user-owned, and shouldn't be touched by any app or distro. > At the most, a sysadmin might add some default Templates to /etc/skel > for his site, but if the user deletes these (and its his full right to!) > he can. Alex, we still need to mind the needs of the distributors and OEMs and vendors to supply templates, for the Linux and GNOME desktop to succeed as a platform. If I install OpenOffice, I should reasonably expect to have a reasonable set of templates for OpenOffice documents installed, and available to all my users without further action on my part, and *without* the install program copying it on every user's $HOME (because we already established that copying them to /etc/skel would do no good for already-existing users). > > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc > alexl redhat com alla lysator liu se > He's an impetuous shark-wrestling master criminal on the run.
