Create Document > No templates installed [SOLVED]

#1 Post by ramack »

I can't figure out what I'm not doing or what I'm doing wrong in order to Create Document from a template while using Thunar. Right clicking in the open space doesn't list a Writer template that I've place in ~/Templates or in ~/Templates/Writer.

I've followed the instructions here: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/workin ... nd-folders
Create Document
Allows you to create a new document either as a blank file or from a template. If you choose the Empty File option and type in a file name with no extension, by default it will create an empty, plain text document. If you assign a file extension of a recognized MIME type, it will create a file of that type. For example, typing MyDocument.odt will create a blank OpenDocument Text file.

You can also create files from a pre-configured templates. To do that, you first create a file with all of your desired settings in the application of your choice and then save it in the ~/Templates folder. That file name will then appear as a choice in the Create Document list. Give it a new name and you now have a new file based on your custom settings.

I've tried saving the file several different ways, but I'm unable to get anything other than the default Empty File to show. What am I missing?
