1. Open Template Manager (Ctrl+Shift+N) 2. Press "Manage" button (upper right corner) 3. Notice "Refresh" as option. Question: Is this command needed? If not, then maybe it should be removed? Question: If it is needed, then what does it do? It is not documented, but maybe it should be? https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/shared/guide/template_manager.html
I'm all in for lean UIs. The rare cases, cannot imagine any, could use a workaround.
I supose if in the past the list was not asyncronous it was useful to have new templates, new categories. I will play with it to test if something is wrong when NOT used.
I tried to import a new template, and if I want to remove it after that I need to try for 3-4 times in order to succeed. Refresh doesn't help, but maybe was helpful some time ago for things like that, and now is disconected.
