Change of default owner. And possibly move Other to the top, not the bottom of the list of template categories - at any rate, some place that doesn't require scrolling. Hi Tim .. how about alphabetical ordering? Would make locating any kind of file easy, not only 3 frequently used (frequency of use can be very individual, especially across various project types). > how about alphabetical ordering?
That might work for things with obvious names; but Folder and Empty File are special, since they're very often what somebody needs but they don't have standard names - someone would have to know what we call them.
So I can see the reasons for alphabetical, but in that case I'd special-case Folder and Empty File at the top, since those are the ones somebody needs to learn the names of, and they are very commonly needed (Empty File works for any file type so you don't have to go find the template)
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss |
