Adding templates file to ~/Templates works for Nautilus 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 20.04), but the right context menu is not available if one has no more empty space left in the window to right click (say when you display a directory with 50+ files in it).
My comment suggest probably another bug report, but I could not find one searching the web regarding this issue. If you know of such bug report, please provide the link. I am reporting this problem here since it is related and causes a discovery problem too if it is impossible to access the right click dialog box. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632027 Title: New Document feature missing from Nautilus 3.20+ Status in Nautilus: Invalid Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu has a patch ( 16_unity_new_documents.patch ) to enable a 'New Document' function in the right-click context menu.
