As of LibreOffice 4.0.0.2, the template extension does not work at all. Given the changes made in the Template Manager, this extension needs to be rewritten. This is crucial for me. I can't update to LO 4 until this functionality is present, wither via extension, or internally to LO. So target would be to get the extension working again. I supposed it would be fine to update the extension, but the problem was also that it didn't update the all the styles. However, this seems like such a basic thing that I don't even know why it's not a default feature instead of an extension. Does https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60660 duplicate this bug/feature request? See comment #3 in that #60660 comment thread for what is *needed*. Thank you! I would say 60660 is a duplicate of this. RE: Comment 3: If the extension worked, that should be fine, however, something this basic should really be part of the core build since it is a VERY basic features, especially since they push using templates (and spent time redesigning the template manager). *** Bug 60660 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #6) I think you're absolutely right. It should be a core feature of LibreOffice. But until it isn't the extension could do a great job and may be also bundled by default, so everyone get's this feature. Note: A fix of Template Changer extension for LibreOffice 4: http://numbertext.org/tmp/template-changer-1.2.7b.oxt (Its menus have been moved to File » Send.) I support this request and suggest it be added to MAB. While "File > Templates" with "Organize" was available up to LO 3.6, not in LO 4.0 and 4.1 now there's "File > Templates > Manage" in LO 4.2 but it's only for a new document, not for changing template in the existing document. I'd only like Template Changer menus to be available in "File > Templates" like up to template-changer-1.2.6.oxt and not in "File > Send" like in template-changer-1.2.7b.oxt. Enhancement requests never belong on MAB list. Thanks for not adding it Maybe here is an idea for the next GSoC ?
