Got a user request for templates in Octavo (my Mac app for PDF imposition).
Do you guys think I should build on top of the "Stationary Pad" finder flag? Do any of you actually use that? Advantages of using it, it'd handle the open-as-new-document flow for me. But the disadvantage is, I couldn't set a separate icon or extension for the template files.

@amyworrall Hmmm, is that true? I remember applications used to have different icons for stationery pads back in System 7. Would be surprised if that functionality got dropped. I have used it a handful of times. Actually now I think of it, I have a Retrobatch document I should make a stationery pad for.

@amyworrall I use the stationery pad feature /all/ the time. I have a set of BBEdit text doc stationery pads, each preconfigured for specifics tasks. Then again, I’m weird so you should probably just ignore me (-:

@amyworrall Even Apple has forgotten that exists. Check out the iWork suite.
