Precisely. It's XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR statement in that file.

Exactly. Each file in ~/Templates will be added by Nautilus to the 'New'
submenu. I've implemented it such way pcmanfm will show only one file per
file type (i.e. only one LibreOffice text doc or only one JPEG file) and
it's why I do some filtering which caused the beforementioned effect.

GNOME ways are sometimes very out of common sense. That's why I prefer to
avoid GNOME ways sometimes. :)
