Default view after switching to Spreadsheet tab. There is no obvious way to import templates

LibreOffice 4.0.0 introduced new template manager. 

Currently:
- there is no easy way to create new directory (#60593) 
- importing templates may be done only after selecting directory (#60581)
- by default, there is no directory for spreadsheet templates

Result:
It appears to be impossible to import spreadsheet (and Draw) templates using new template manager.

In fact, this issue will solve automatically after mentioned two will be taken care of. I report this only to justify importance of them.

Best regards
Mirosław Zalewski

Deprecated Regression text in Summary, and more or less not a regression, because problem with completely redesigned Dialogs.

I am aware that there is no UI to directly create a new folder. But you can save a template into any folder in the "File -> Save As Template" menu and then you can move the selected template to a new folder.

This is yet-another UI Design bug IMHO.

Isn't this issue not baiscally a duplicate of 60593?
If there's a logic way to create a directory / folder etc... ?

Cor: thinking about it now, I believe it is fine to say so.

I set up this bug because I though it is important to stress out consequences of hardness of creating new template directory (which came to me only after reporting 60593). I don't know why I didn't simply post a comment to mentioned bug. It could be due to my frustration with new template manager, maybe.
Perhaps that wasn't the wisest thing I did in my life ;) .

Given that 60593 is already in 4.0's MAB, I hope that it will get some attention. I am marking this one as duplicate, then.
