Hi, Sorry for the late reply (the thread subject wasn't too specific ;-))

The feature request, if I interpret it correctly, was for a new menu under Tools that listed all template files so that they could be selected for editing, rather than climbing down through the directory browser to find them. That is what I was proposing to work on.
Looking at it again, yes I agree with your interpretation. Since the tools menu is often extended by plugins maybe the templates need to be a sub-menu rather than populating the top level tools menu with all the standard and (unknown number of) user defined templates. What do others think?
I think that would be cool, IMO should be realised as a plugin (which we could ship with Geany itself, though this is another topic). I'd say it the plugin should add a submenu to Tools->Configuration Files or directly into the Tools menu, I don't mind much.
I'm not sure if any work was started on this.
I've just made templates reload automatically when saving a document in the user template path.
I think for opening template files (and other config files e.g. filetypes) we could add a 'Tools->Configuration Files->Open' item that just shows a file dialog starting in the user config directory.
Showing submenus with items for each file is OK IMO, but the file dialog might be a simple solution and flexible.
