But when launching Subsurface from the read only dmg that we ship, you cannot
edit the templates. I just tested this. And sadly, we fail silently (so no user 
visible
message).

So please, someone volunteer to copy the templates to a subdirectory of our
system default directory and always look there FIRST, before looking at the
system provided templates. And then you can add a "reset" function where you
simply delete the user specific copy and magically the shipped template will
reappear.

Gehad? Lubomir?
