Description Joseph Molnar CLA 2002-06-20 01:39:11 EDT
Not sure how this would translate to non-windows platform, but the idea is the 
following:

I love that I can right click and 'open with' the system editor. However there 
are circumstances where the file is actually a 'template file', like Word 
has .dot or Excel has .xlt. In many, though not all, I would love it if I 
could treat it like how Explorer does, it defaults to using the template to 
open a new document instead of editing the current one.  The windows shell 
has 'verbs' that can be applied to a given document which indicated how they 
can be 'opened', may there is a way to play off of that? But I definitely 
would love to see it support allowing both to open to edit the template or 
open to create a new doc from the template.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
