Ok, $XDG_DATA_DIRS/Templates then, and merge ~/Templates if present, see http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404 (add further comments, suggestions to the bugreport please). > and dropping Nautilus compatibility here.

Well, i18n is a non-trivial problem here, since it's not only the file name to translate, but also the file content. For example a HTML template would look like this in english: <html> <head><title>HTML Template</title></head> <body><h1>HTML Template</h1></head> </html> but the german version would be: <html> <head><title>HTML Vorlage</title></head> <body><h1>HTML Vorlage</h1></head> </html> So, what we would need is a way to have different templates per language. Maybe organized ala CDE below $datadir/Thunar/Templates/<lang>, dunno. > - Jannis Benedikt _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
