Notice that LyX's "New from Template ..." feature is most similar to
Word's "Open a copy" feature (from within the Open dialog): any file
can be a "template", not just specially formatted/saved documents.
For this reason, I think it makes sense to access them from a dialog
similar to the open dialog, though perhaps the differences between
the "Open ..." and "Open from Template ..." dialogs should be
clearer in the dialogs themselves.
Agree. But that does neither solve the problem on how to enter the
LyX.app-bundle, nor on how to prevent default templates from being
modified (provided this is considered a bad thing).
Nothing wrong in modifying a default template - if that is what the user
wishes
to do. They may want to set their default papersize, document language
and so
on, as well as adding custom letterheads and such. The distributed
templates
may be nice as a starting point, but often not useful exactly the way
they are.
