Thanks to this tool, created files from a template will keep the same file permissions.
This will help you in case you need to template some scripts, like bash scripts.

Hi,
I am trying to use this manager to make templates, but I am not succeeding.
Steps:

• I checked if KDialog is installed --> it is
• I went to "Configure Dolphin" and then to "Context Menu" and then to "Download services"
• I searched for KDE template manager and installed it

but here I am stuck, even after a restart, KDE 5 template manager does not show up in the Context Menu, or in the Context menu Settings. When I go again to "Download New Services", it shows as being "Installed".

Help appreciated!!

Using Dolpin 23.08.4
Operating System: TUXEDO OS 2
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.113.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11
Kernel Version: 6.5.0-10013-tuxedo (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

Dependencies like Kdialog may not come by default, so it's needed to update documentation with these information.

Operating System: EndeavourOS (Arch)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.16.8-arch1-1 (64-bit)

I had "template-management_dolphin-service-menu-master" that didn't work. I looked for uninstall.sh there was everything but no uninstall.sh

I installed "KDE-5-Template-Manager-v5" hoping it would fix it = still not working and had additional menu entries.
uninstalled "KDE-5-Template-Manager-v5" using it's uninstall.sh, and deleted all related files from ~/.bin (in PATH) ~/.local/share /kservices5/ServiceMenus, and it looked like I got rid of all traces; the menu and menu service settings dialog entries were all cleared. I don't know if i need to remove anything else, nor where else to look, and there's no info here about what all the install script does.

I Rebooted just to make sure, and Reinstalled KDE-5-Template-Manager-v5, but it still does not work at all.

Steps:
Right click on file > Manage Template(s) > Create template from this file = Nothing happens at all! )<:

Also:
The menu entry for directories is under: Actions > Manage Template(s) > Create template from this directory.

That's inconsistent, the menu entries for files and directories should be in the same place in the menu.

Could you please unpublish previous versions of the software? Because it is confusing to choose from:

For me the install.sh seems to do nothing.

When placing the Dolphin context menu entries to ~.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus they work normally.

The created Templates are placed in the home directory though, even though they show up in the "create new" context menu of Dolphin when placed in ~/.local/share/templates.

I dont think these directories are different between KDE Distros, they are in the user folder and should be no problem to be used normally (maybe not on multi-user systems but these Templates should be user specific anyways)

So I dont really know what the general directories in the script are for, they seem to not work and not be needed.

I am on Fedora Kinoite with OSTree filesystem, but the homedir works normally.

Currently in TermplateManager.desktop the icon for main file is favorite. Probably should instead use the project's one TemplateManagerIcon.png. I guess it should be placed at some standard location (do not yet explored which exactly) by install.sh and then use its name in Icon= field.
Specifying absolute path to png works (in Dolphin the icon of the .desktop file itself changes), but using $HOME variable there does not work. So I am not sure for now how to implement it.
This icon is referenced also in install.sh and in uninstall.sh.

Some other icons are missing in my system. For example, xapp-favorite-symbolic in cuttlefish shows nothing. It is referenced in TemplateManager.desktop and in TemplateManagerTools.sh.

in which directory?

It seems that it is in development.
Some items are not displayed properly. For example, blank spaces instead of naming actions such as editing icon.
Also, when installing via Dolphin (get new thing button), there is no such action.
Looks like it is not yet published in https://www.pling.com/p/1454391/
