Bug ID: 160131
Summary: Writer TEMPLATE #3: importing templates should be
automatic (in the name of transparency)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

hi,
Importing a template should be automatic.
When a new *.ott file arrives in a template directory,
it should be available as a template...
Why?
Cause in the opposite case, an avalanche of obscure things are due to come
about... including that you base your project on a template...
and weeks later you realize that it's actually not this-projects-template.ott
but "base-24-A5-1.ott", for example...
which was automatically produced as you saved your template as another
template...
Having to import templates is a very rudimentary concept...
When an *.ott file is present in the template directory,
it should be recognized... and treated as a template...
-------------------
+1 SUGGESTION (plausible enough):
When a template have been preset in the template directory,
once it is gone, it should be somehow noticeable...
There could be a template junk yard...
or parking lot...
where copies of the templates would be saved...
------------------
+1 suggestion:
NAVIGATOR could have a template organizer function, too...
or maybe the document center (star up center) could have that...
and the usage of templates would also be recorded and readable here...
among other things...
