Could you determine the line range of the "first comment"? I think the
replacement isn't done outside of an comment.

If the template wildcard is replaced after saving the file, the "Save
file" dialog isn't needed.

But while we talk about opening dialogs. What do you think about template
wildcard which ask for it value? This could be done by appending an
question mark. Something like "{project?}".
