I think there should be a small template manager. The contextual menu would contain:
Empty file
(Templates...)
----------
Modify template list
Modifying the template list would fire up a sort of stripped-down version of Alacarte to manage templates.
- A template should have a ready-to-use extension, name, and optionally some content.
- Order of templates and separators in the menu should be easy to change (like in Alacarte)
- The path to the template folder should be easy to change (I might not want to use the default one, use one shared with other users or use a localized version...)
- Order of files should be manageable in there aswell (defaulting to alphabetical order if not precised - eg files hard-added in the templates folder)
- The manager should probably be a separated package to Nautilus, front-end to simple config files.
