[Upstream] Add ~/Templates in paths used by LibreOffice

[Mozaic]

In LibreOffice in Ubuntu 12.04, there are 2 paths for Templates:
- /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../share/template/common
- ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/template
We can know that if we go to Menu -> Option -> Tools -> LibreOffice -> Paths. Here, we have paths for image, my documents, templates, gallery, etc ...
But, in /home, we have a folder with name: Templates. If a clic right in Nautilus, we have contextuel menu. In this one, we can go to "Create a new document". If we have a document (a curriculum vitaæ for exemple) in ~/Template, we can found it in Clic right -> Create a new document -> curriculum vitæ.

Expected: add ~/Templates in the path for template.

Mozaic, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Problem description:

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....Downlaod Ubuntu 12.04 ß 2
2. ....Install on your computer
3. ....Open LibreOffice

In LibreOffice in Ubuntu 12.04, there are 2 paths for Templates:
- /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../share/template/common
- ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/template
We can know that if we go to Menu -> Option -> Tools -> LibreOffice -> Paths. Here, we have paths for image, my documents, templates, gallery, etc ...
But, in /home, we have a folder with name: Templates. If a clic right in Nautilus, we have contextuel menu. In this one, we can go to "Create a new document". If we have a document (a curriculum vitaæ for exemple) in ~/Template, we can found it in Clic right -> Create a new document -> curriculum vitæ.

Current behavior: missing ~/Templates in the path for template

Expected behavior:add ~/Templates in the path for template

It's could be only an Ubuntu, i don't know if other Linux's distribution affected.

I don't think that is a good idea, as Templates folder is intended to documents of multiple types, as opposed to many different templates of the same type.

[Mozaic (mozaic)]

I try Debian 6.0, Fedora 17, OpenSUSE-12.1, Mandriva 2010-spring, Mageia no one use ~/Template in LibreOffice/OOo.

It's for what use these repertory ~/Template ??

Can you explain a bit why the current method doesn't work where you can just add Templates from Tools->LibreOffice-> Paths? Are you saying that you want it set as default? I'm just a bit confused, going to mark as NEEDINFO. Once you add the info please mark it back to UNCONFIRMED and we'll check it out again

[Mozaic (mozaic)]

@ Urmas: I don't understand: A folder template it's for keep Templates, why not use it ??

@ Joel Madero: Yes, i want to add it by default because there are a Template's folder by default in /home
