Comment 9 for bug 372132

The justification for marking this bug as invalid in Nautilus is (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/372132/comments/3): "the rational to have no template by default is that the choice of what to put there is an user one and upstream is against giving a way for applications to put tons of useless items in there for most users."

If that is the rationale, how does one justify the confusion or frustration it creates to users as given in the bug description? Using the right-click menu if one creates a new document, renames it with the extension of one's choice, and opens it with the "appropriate" software, just does not work. Nor is it clear as to how one is supposed to create/add new templates. If the designers are against putting "useless templates" in there, at least provide a straightforward means to add new templates.

I have been going thru some of the bugs (and filing some myself) and have seen many bugs rejected as not "paper cut" worthy. If this does not meet ALL the requirements of being a paper cut, I dont know what does. Please clarify which specific criteria this bug fails to not qualify as a paper cut.
