New Document Setup Rename/Delete Functions
-
@Ingolf made a recent post about the width and height swap relocation and it got me thinking again about ways to make the New Document Setup panel more useful.
I had suggested a while back about making right-click on the document templates would allow for them to be renamed or deleted: @Boldline said in VectorStyler 1.2 beta:

Should be doable in the Styles -> Preset Manager
Ok I found it there. I totally understand and like the preset manager as the "home base" for finding and editing any and all presets, but I think this is a case where adding some basic editing to the "new document" panel would help users and make VS more user-friendly. Using the preset manager hub is more of an advanced user thing in my mind. New users are not going to know to go dig in there to find and delete/rename templates.
If you decided to do so, I would allow right-click on the icon in the "new document" panel and give the option to rename it and also the option to delete it.
Also, right now, if I double click the template icon in the "new document" panel, it creates a totally new template file, not just a new working file to use in VS. I would change this double click function to the same as the "ok" button, because some people will just think to double-click to select that specific template and not realize it's making copies of it as well
I would keep the option to edit these things in the Preset Manager as they are now organized, but perhaps the options being added to the right-click menu or to the panel directly in the New Document Setup panel could work as aliases to go ahead and perform the preset manager edits?

@Boldline Currently the Delete key should delete in the template list. I did not add the right-click menu, because it would have been for a single function (Delete) only, and it seemed a bit too much for that.
EDIT: I will find a way to do rename in the list.
