Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 117831
No template directory setup for users
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:38 EST
Description of problem: A new feature in gnome2.6 is the ability to store document templates in ~/templates so when the user right clicks on the desktop a list of templates are available which read the ~/template directory. However when a new user is created and logs in to gnome, this directory is never created. I'm reported in this a bug because if not created the user will never be able to use templates, unless he manually creates the ~/template directory. However this could be a great enhancement with Fedora coming with default and predetermine templates. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-desktop-2.5-90-1 How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in as user 2. right click on the desktop 3. select create document **NOTE: any documents in ~/Templates will be listed here, however ~/Templates doesn't exsist
Nautilus is actually what's responsible for the desktop. gnome-desktop mainly contains the libgnome-desktop library (for parsing .desktop files) and the gnome-about program.
Nautilus automatically creates the directory when you use places -> templates or go -> templates.
