Talk:NewFromTemplateSpec

Point on the current template selector

The current system in order to choose a template is deprecated. It's simply a list in the menu (see picture). You can't parametrize templates (width, height, border, ...). You can't easily add new templates. You can't visualize templates before choice. The list don't respect any order. Templates are not categorized (CD, DVD, screen, ...). Templates names don't respect specifications: Some contains _ between words (like icon_16x16). Some templates are in french (like "Défaut") and others in english (like "business_card_..."). Template list is too long. It can cause problem for netbooks. You can't make template be one of your favorites or "recently used". Commons templates of the "Document properties dialog" are not present (like A3, B2, US Letter, ...) You can't choose the units for your new drawing.

Categories names

Traductions

Do we have to traduce categories names ? If yes, we can add new attributes in svg files, like :

   inkscape:template:category-fr="Fond d'écran"

Notation

Should we use underscore between words ? like :

   inkscape:template:category="Paper_sizes"

or can we simply use:

   inkscape:template:category="Paper sizes"

Keywords

I think that keywords are optionals, because they must be traduced in too many languages. And there is categories in order to find templates. Should we use them or not ?

Currents categories

Background

Is "background" the same category as "Desktop" ? Binnette 09:57, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Defaults

"default_mm.svg" and "default_pt.svg" don't respect specifications. Must be "default.mm.svg" and "default.pt.svg". Is it correct ? Binnette 09:59, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
