eeping it empty, should mean that it is hidden until you add templates, since it is useless otherwise

<AlanBell> oimon: wow, that is a really cool feature I never knew existed
<oimon> AlanBell: yeah, and i've used ubuntu since 2004
<smittix> I use the Templates dir quite alot. Right click and create an invoice is pretty handy.
<MartijnVdS> smittix: but it's poorly documented (to say the least)
<shauno> that's been in nautilus for as long as I can remember.  and always felt broken, since $XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR defaults to $HOME (or $HOME/Templates in ubuntu).  feels like something that belongs under /usr/share so packages can populate it
<MartijnVdS> shauno: both really
<shauno> well being able to add them per-user is A Neat Trick.  having 'new abiword document' there because you have abiword install just seems completely obvious
<smittix> MartijnVdS: Yeah, I only found it through a some obscure google search.
<shauno> relevant: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17439/
<oimon> wow, i'd forgotten all about that site
<popey> you and everyone else
<shauno> well, there's nothing there saying that it's left for archive purposes and all the cool kids have moved to stackexchange.  but good idea is still a good idea
<gord> someone reminded me the other day that slashdot still existed, surprised me
<bigcalm> Fnar fnar
<MartijnVdS> gord: CmdrTaco no longer works there though
<oimon> slashdot still ha interesting stories
<MartijnVdS> I prefer Ars myself
<MartijnVdS> ArsTechnica++
<oimon> oeer missis
<oimon> good recovery
<shauno> I've never gotten around to removing slashdot from my feed reader, but they do tend to be a few days behind everyone else now
<gord> i always found the slashdot story feed to just be inflammatory articles designed to agitate its reader base. its the daily mail of software news
<oimon> it saves me reading everything about everything. if i've already seen the story then meh, but otherwise the articles are often interesting topics
<oimon> but
