Well thank god it's not just me! I think all Text Factory features should definitely be in one menu.
1a) If a Text Factory has no files specified, it should not be enabled on the gear menu.
Good idea.
1b) If a Text Factory has no files specified, when selected from the gear menu, it prompts to select files with a way to select current file(s).
Not as good as it requires a separate confirmation--unless there's also a forced "apply to current document" keyboard shortcut (eg, select the Text Factory with Shift key).
2) As an explicit source of files in the Text Factory, add the option Applies to Current File.
I'd prefer the flexibility of having default file(s) possibly selected, but being able to also run the TF on the current file.
4) Segregate factories which have a saved selection separately on the gear menu - the ones which apply to current should be at the top.
... or perhaps a submenu with "Apply To Current Document>" and the TF names repeated.
AND: I'd like to have an Automator action to apply Text Factories please.
