           Summary: Need doc for modifying Dolphin's "Create New..." menu
           Product: docs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-doc-english at kde.org
        ReportedBy: skierpage at gmail.com


Version:           1.2.1 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I want to add a new document to Dolphin's File > Create New... menu.  As far as
I can see there's no help for this in KHelpCenter, no help in
http://userbase.kde.org/Dolphin , no help in
http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/File_Management#Discover_Dolphin

I tried creating a file in the empty ~/Templates that Kubuntu 9.04 gave me,
that had no effect.

Screwing around with strace, I found I could (as root) modify the files in
usr/share/templates/.source/ to create different default files, but adding new
files did nothing.  Dolphin also monitors ~/.kde/share/templates , but putting
files in here also did nothing. 
http://forum.kde.org/customizing-create-new-menu-t-36907.html suggests you need
to add a .desktop folder as well.

Please document this in the handbook, even if it's a negative declaration, e.g.
"Adding new templates to the Create New... menu currently requires advanced
system administration. Dolphin does not use the Templates folder."
