2. 
3.

Template does not appear in new file list.

Sorry for the late reply. It's unfortunate that we made the decision to save template filess using the un-escaped name as the filename back in, oh, I guess 2002. So I can confirm the issue, and it does need to be changed. However, given that the template system is such a mess, it's unlikely to happen soon...
