I think the icon and explanatory text should appear for whichever file type is 
select in the new file dialog. They are currently in the side tab, but not on 
the open box. Also I see that the side tab has no way of saying whether or 
not you want the file included in the project.

If anything is to be changed, it should open the project option for editing 
the project specific template, because that is what will be added to the 
project, not the global one.
