Do you think I should add a default save path, so it will be saved to path/new_project.xrns ? I guess Then neurogamis tool will work, which nearly does the same. Edit: hm no I think I will write it as “new_project” to the template dir and will prevent “new_project” from being listed. Then you won’t overwrite the template accidentily at least.
The best would be obviously some LUA function like “set_song_state_unsaved(true)” or “set_song_path(”“)” or something, so that on pressing Apple-S / Command-S a file save dialogue would appear just like the song was completely new and never saved!
I don’t think you need to add a default save path… as you say, it would then be pretty much the same as the other tool.
But yeah, what I want to see for multiple templates is what you wrote in bold: for a “new from template” project to be unsaved, and prompt for the file name upon the first save. Hopefully taktik, danoise and crew (who else is on the dev team? I only think of those two) will look into this given that it’s a common feature request.
Thanks for sharing!
