Yes, Geany asks first for the filename when the file is actually to be
saved, not when creating. I like it this way as it makes creating files
more easy and fast.

To some extend, this is already possible. There are plugin signals
emitted when a document is created, opened, saved and closed.
Hwoever, except for closed, these signals are emitted after the
corresponding action. But this might be still enough for a template
plugin to add the desired functionality.
Feel free to work on this, if any API changes/additions needed, just
tell us about and we'll see how we can solve it.
