Templates for creating files

If you often create files of a particular type — e.g. documents, spreadsheets, text files — you can create a Template (a blank file of that file type) for that file type. Then when you need to create a file of this type, navigate to the folder that will hold the file and click the icon in the Folder Pane Toolbar or press Ctrl+N. This pops up your list of Templates:

Select the Template you need, fill in the File name, and then click either of the buttons at the bottom of the pop-up. The new file is created in the current folder (and opened if you click "...and open").

Adding templates, editing existing templates

The Template files are in the folder C:\Users\<User Name>\OneCommander\Templates if you are running the Store version, or {OneCommanderFolder}\Templates if you have the Portable version. You can add as many Templates as you like, and edit the ones that are in that folder. For example, you may like to have Templates for Word files with your organization's letterhead, or spreadsheets for particular routine procedures.

===== Mild warning =====
The file that's created from the Template will have the properties of the Template file in the Templates folder, for example in Microsoft Word the default settings for font, styles etc. Make sure that the Template for that file type has all the default settings that you want, otherwise you'll have to change them to your individual preferences every time you create a new file.
