The first thing that I noticed is that when you call up the Template
Manager, e.g. via the File > Template menu entry, it takes a fairly long
time to display the Template Manager dialog, as in more than a minute -
this performance hit worries me - the more so because every time you
want to save any newly created document as a template, you have to wait
the same amount of time for the dialog to display, which is pretty
infuriating. The old template manager did not show this lag and was
comparably much faster on the same hardware, so for me, this is a fairly
important regression.
I'ld bet this is coming from the thumbnails extraction. I'll need to
somehow cache them or update them asynchronously.
The second thing is that when you want to save a newly created document
as a template, the Template Manager dialog is displayed, but I can see
no way of creating a new folder to be able to store the template in it,
you are forced to use an existing folder or folders. Is this by design,
or is the function just not yet visible in the Template Manager dialog ?
No it's a bug that needs to be fixed (either missing in the
implementation or in the design). Thought as we are post String-freeze,
I'm not sure if I'll be able to push that for 4.0
As this is about to go live with the future release of 4.0, it would be
awkward to have yet another performance hit / reduction in functionality
compared to the existing tool.
Well, performance can be fixed in 4.0.x versions. What I'ld like to
avoid is a lacking feature.
