Also of note is that the "Save" and "Close" buttons have identical functionality in the template editor. If you modify the template and click "Close", it will in fact save those changes instead of discarding them. A suggestion would be to rename the "Close" button to "Discard Changes", and have it do exactly that. |

Scenario
Often I'll want to insert a template, so I'll click the
Templatebutton, click the template I want, and then forget to clickSave and insert, and then once the templated text comes up I'll immediately start filling in the template, thinking I'm working on the journal entry. When I'm finished, I'll realize what I've done: I've edited the template instead of my journal entry.Problem
I figure I should be able to copy the text I've unwittingly entered into the Template, close the template (destroying edits), and then paste the text into my journal entry. The problem is that the template ends up edited, despite never choosing to save my edits to it. It's as though it autosaves my edits to the template.
Suggestions
Separate insert and edit actions for Templates (eg. move Template Editing to a menu item, keep Template insertion as a button). This results in fewer clicks when simply wanting to insert, and avoids accidentally editing templates.
I'll add that in my initial use of the program, I kept clicking on the
Insertbutton to insert the template, only to puzzle why I didn't see any templates listed there.Change (ie. remove) the autosave behavior in Templates, especially as the buttons seem to indicate that saving does not happen until manually instructed to do so.
