Personally I do not see any resolution to this stand off given what appears to me to be narrow-mindedness, coupled with some fear of "redundancy in UX." A simple quote; "A paper cut is a trivially fixable usability bug that the average user would encounter in default installation of Ubuntu or Kubuntu Desktop Edition." That's the brief. I am an average user and I haven't used Windows for at least 5 years, yet this lack of functionality irks me no end. And to those who wish to argue the all mighty purpose of the Templates folder as designed and implemented as a basis for a fix, to those I ask was it designed to be a half-way house of blank files on their way to the desktop? No I thought not... So I ask why the hesitation, the lack of inclination or stubborn refusal? to explore and develop this nuance into a shortcut of usefulness?
Quote (part): Tobias Wolf, no YOU are right (#55). The menu certainly should not be an app launcher alone. It should be a template launcher. The menu should open the app with THE TEMPLATE selected open, and any subsequent additions or alterations saved only as a generic file. The folder should include a ~/path to template.file as a means of adding future templates, rather than have software propagate their templates during installation as was discussed earlier. To me this is a no brainer. And lastly to all here I apologize for my tone and my frustration regarding this matter. -- "Create Document" Templates difficult to use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372132 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
