           Summary: Feature Request: make discovery and customization of
                    templates easier
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.08.2
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at fuchsnet.ch

  Target Milestone: ---

Related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494679 and after a discussion
in the VD group:

it would make sense to make templates in the dolphin context menu easier to
discover and customize for users.
Probably best by linking to the kcm that allows setting an XDG_TEMPLATE_DIR in
the context menu.
Imho if there are no entries yet, a "Add custom entries ..." entry with a link
would make sense, and a "Edit custom entries ..." entry if there are any. It
should be in the section of custom template entries, since the other ones are
not user-customizable.

This feature request would then also require adapting said KCM to make it
easier for users to understand what a template directory is, potentially with a
GUI method of opening it / adding files, but that shall be a separate feature
request.
