Issue APSTUD-2816: Convert "New From Template" menu to create "Untitled" files by default
Currently, the "File > New From Template" menu creates a new project-based file or a new file on the filesystem, depending on the active selection in project explorer (defaulting to the project-based behavior) Many users want the ability to create a new untitled file. This is possible, but a user would then have to preselect the type of file (i.e. HTML, CSS, etc.). In order to achieve this in Studio 2, we had a selection of wizards that activated and deactivated based on the current selection. This worked, but was a clumsy solution. A different proposal is that we, by default, make the "New From Template" menu adopt the following behavior: # File > New From Template. Creates a new untitled file of the specified type (new behavior) # Right-click on project in Project Explorer view. Creates a new project-based file (current behavior) # Right-click on file system node in Project Explorer. Creates a new file on the file system (current behavior) This links with another ticket to make it easier to save this file into a project or file depending on the user's preference.
