Should support subdirectories, so basic categorization is possible.\r\n * Loads the selected ORA file, clears the filename information, and marks the document dirty\r\n* New preference item, \"New document is created:\"\r\n * Radiobutton selecting between 'Generic blank document' and 'From template:'\r\n * Button offering the same choice between templates found in templates/ subdirectory\r\n\r\nThe rationale is that for many types of work you do have to target specific output dimensions and other picture characteristics, this could be extremely helpful for these workflows. It would provide a way to setup in one step layers, frame size, and background.\r\n\r\nI believe it would be a pretty simple and very helpful feature that is also pretty simple to implement, and I'm fully prepared to implement it in its entirety."}}
