The idea is to easily add entries to the "Create New" context menu in dolphin. Currently for that one needs to: 1. create a template somewhere. 2. write a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/templates like https://j605.tk/blog/post/shorts/new-templates-in-dolphin/ One solution would be to skip the second step and just show files in ~/Templates. Another option is to provide an easier way to create them by abstracting the desktop file creation from the user.
> just show files in ~/Templates That one makes sense to me. Then we wouldn't have to create a whole desktop file creation UI.
There is a "KDE 5 Template Manager" (see here: https://store.kde.org/p/1454391) downloadable service menu (extension). It solves this exact task. But I agree, it is rather hard to find when you do not know it exists. I was searching for the solution for this task, searched existing extensions. I found an obsolete extension for this task, ported it to kde 5. And then at a publish time, discovered there is "KDE 5 Template Manager". For some reason, I did not found it at a first search. Maybe dolphin could "recommend" in some way to install certain extensions to get "proper experience"?
