Nautilus templates

I have been trying to help my mother by adding a document templates to right click -> create document nautilus menu. Here is the procedure to add new templates:

1. edit the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and change:

XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"

to

XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"

2. create the Templates folder

3. in the Templates folder just create whatever document you like. The name of this file will appear in the right click -> create document menu.

4. all done.
