IMHO, having a default template file for Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, and
others would solve many requests related to the default settings at a time.
In case of enterprise wide installation, system integration vendors or system
administrators have to achieve customers requirements. A large enterprise
tends to have defined their own document policy such as default font name
and size, size and margins of sheet, and the number of lines per sheet and
characters per line.
Yes, current implementation of soffice is capable of specifying a default
template file for each application, but a way of instructions through the
menu File - Templates - Organize to do so is slightly complex and cannot be
done without user interaction. Because of a large amount of client machines,
a simple way to deploy template files is demanded.
Some experienced vendors know short cut tips for deployment of default
template files by modifying one of the configuration files under the folder
'share/registry/data/' and by putting the template files in the publicly
accessible directory, but such a fashion could not be widely accepted.
One of the possible solutions:
1. Prepare directories share/template/<locale>/default/ and presets/....
2. Put null template files: swriter.ott for Writer, scalc.ots for Calc,
and so on in the directory.
3. Each application will confirm at startup if a template file exists and
use it. If it does not exist, go fallback to the current implementation.
I could not find any similar issue directly discussing deployment of template
files. If already filed, please forgive me and close this for duplication.
Thanks
