Following the previous article about Nautilus and shell script, what about a brief article about Nautilus Templates? I've found this feature useful just today. There is a Templates folder under the home dir: if you place files there (txt, odt, html, whatever) in the contextual menu that appears with the right click on a directory you will have a submenu called, exactly, Templates. It is something like "create empty file" in the current directory. Well, the file could be not empty, but as the word says: a template.
Ciao A.
I definitely see a lot of value in that. There doesn't seem to be a tremendous amount of information on that out there. I did find https://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=39317 that may help.

Agree fully with David, this would be a *fantastic* article. I've only used this with Libreoffice. Are there other uses for Templates? Oh, I guess I could wait for the article to find out.

I put the article in Pending rewiew. It is a bit short. And as usual: sorry for my English.
Ciao A.

I have done a quick editorial pass on this one, and have created a featured image for it.
The only thing is i removed the part about the directories template extenstion. I thought this might make a neat follow-up artilce by itselft, rather than just afootnote at the bottom of this one.
cheers, ryanlerch
