Bug ID: 121870
Summary: Want To Remove Unwanted Templates
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-***@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ***@gmail.com

Currently I have about 20 templates of my own and they represent about a
quarter of the templates presented to me when I want to select one. All of
these extra, unwanted templates are irriatating. I can not delete or hide them.

I'm not sure of what arguments there are for making them immuatable. I believe
that LO should be as open and free, especailly with respect to mandating
unwanted features.

I am respectfuloly requesting that embedded templates be deletable or, perhaps
even better, hidden. If hidden they could be visiable when requested.

It would certanly make my work flow much easier. I suspect others would feel
the same.

Sorry. I thought replicating this would be easy.

Here are the steps to experience this issue that concerns me.
1. Open Template Manager
2. Select under filter: All Applications; All Categories
3. Select any template that is installed with LibreOffice, suck as
"mediawiki"
4. Right-click and click Delete
5. Answer "Yes" to the dialog "Do you want to delete the selected template?"
The attached image appears and the unwanted template remains. It can not be
deleted.

FWIW, I can delete any template I create but I can not delete any template
automatically installed by LibreOffice and there many of those.
