[Usability] Improve "Create Document" context menu



Hi,

The "Create Document" context-menu item has been discussed several times and has not reached any user-friendly solution.

The present method of creating new documents is not user-friendly:
1: User has to rename a file
2: User has enter the extension of the file type he wants to create.
3: User has to open the file after the initial select of > Create Document.
4: Editing the file creates unnecessary 0 bytes empty backups
5: If the user renames the file *only* after editing , an empty "new file" exists. 6: No-one actually simply creates an empty file, users want to immediately work on the new Documents.

An elegant user-friendly solution needs to be achieved, which:
1: Allows the user to choose which templates to exist in the context menu
2: Opens the template instantly when the user selects from the context menu.
3: Prevents unnecessary empty backups.

I'v opened a bug report with a proposed solution, and a mockup of the context menu. > http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590666

Hope someone can oversee the proposed solution and be willing to work on the code side of this issue. Comments are welcome.

Cheers,
mac_v
