[Reserve the “New Document” submenu even when there’s no templates available (was: “New Document” submenu support) (#407) · Issues · GNOME / Files · GitLab] [GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/407) NOTE: I’m the submitter of this issue
I would like to again express my favor for this option.
I agree. Such a solution would also allow moving the templates folder to a less present location, such as ~/.locale/templates. Additionaly, the commonly desired ‘empty file’ option could be included.
I would like to ask whether such standardization occurred, and if not, how to push things forward?
I do not think so. I believe it would need to be done through a freedesktop.org standard in some way. Maybe adding it to xdg / xdg-user-dirs · GitLab could suffice. (Note that the project does not seem all active)
