It should do so. That it doesn't means you've uncovered a bug. My mental picture of the way forward is to disable the choice of template until the user attempts to select a file (either types it in or uses "Browse..."). Thereafter, we'd activate the chooser but use a 'best guess' algorithm to try and deduce the template type from the file name. We'll get this wrong sometimes, so allow the user to still set the chooser explicitly. Since the templates often have a list of recognized file extensions, we could use that to deduce the template type. Wa'd'ya think? -- Angus
