No, not at all (at least I can't see any reason why filtering for templates
would mean that a user wants to edit said template). All the format picker does
and should do in this case is filter out unwanted file formats.

To me, your solutions seems rather unintuitive, because it is hard to trigger
and rather oblique to the user.

Right, but:
a) what you say goes only for saving
b) you can still override that choice by adding a file extension and quotes
around the file name (or at least that's the way it is in notepad.exe, not
completely sure about LibO)


@Cor, comment 7:
Shift-Click is an interesting idea, but I see two problems with it:
* It's not particularly discoverable either (though that doesn't disqualify it
as a secondary way to access the function)
* Shift-Click is usually associated with multiple selections in this context,
as is Ctrl-Click, so I am a bit dubious about whether it would be confusing to
have two different interpretations of Shift-Click so close to each
