I'm assuming you mean it sends the wrong visual message without the icon.

That is quite opposite to the universal workflow of saving anything. When you
open the Save or Save As dialog, the primary thing is to select a folder if
neede, which may have existing files in it, and then type a new file name.

Yes as there isnt a filename field to type in the template name, a dialog
appears after clicking the 'Save' button. This isnt that outside of the norm
that it would confuse users.

I find this quite confusing that if i wanted to save something, i would have to
preselect an item already in the list of file/template names and then click a
Save button. Maybe the simplest thing is to do would be to change the 'Save'
button to 'Save Template Here'.
