Description: In LibreOffice Impress, the File->Templates->"Manage Templates" menu item, and various buttons within the Manage Templates window, do not have ellipses on the texts. Many HIGs (Human Interface Guidelines) would require ellipses on controls that do not take immediate action but require additional options. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to File->Templates->"Manage Templates" 2. See the "Move", "Export" and "Import" buttons on the bottom bar of the Templates window. 3. Click on the gear icon on the bottom left, and see "New category" and "Delete category" submenu items. Actual Results: All the mentioned button or menu item texts do not have ellipses on them: 1. "Manage Templates" 2. "Move", "Export" and "Import" 3. "New Category" and "Delete Category" Expected Results: The button or menu item text should be have ellipsis suffix, like: 1. "Manage Templates..." 2. "Move To...", "Export..." and "Import..." 3. "New Category..." and "Delete Category..." Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Tested on: * LibreOffice Impress 5.2.7.2 en-US locale * LibreOffice Impress 6.0.5.2 zh-TW locale

Adding ellipsis on File->Templates->"Manage Templates" might not look sensible (as it does not _require_ input on managing Impress templates). But a similar menu item, File->New->"Templates", may need ellipsis, so it becomes File->New->"Templates..."
P.s. The item would be better to be named File->New->"New from a Template..."

We shouldn't overdo ellipsis, otherwise the information becomes pointless - and that's why it makes sense in New because we indicate the difference to the other items. This is a very simple easyhack (how to find the code pointer: https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2018/02/28/easyhacking-all-about-terminology/)
