What is New from Template Browse?
New from Template Browse is a macro that allows one to perform a "new from template" operation after browsing to select the .CDT or .CDR file to use as a template.
This macro uses CorelDRAW's CorelScriptTools.GetFileBox method to browse and select a file. When the dialog opens, it is set to filter for .CDT files. If you wish to start a new document using a .CDR file as the template, then use the drop-down in the lower right hand corner of the dialog to have the dialog filter for .CDR files.
The macro stores the last used folder path in the Registry, and includes a sub that can be used to remove its entries from the Registry.
OK, where's the macro?
JQ_New_from_Template_Browse_Current.zip.
.
Does this macro remember the last folder location or does it default to 'documents'?
It should be storing the last folder location in a "user" section of the Registry.
Very cool and handy tool (since Corel failed).
I'm glad you find it to be useful.
I agree that it was a mistake to not retain an easy way to select a template by name. I have a similar complaint about the fill pickers.
It's important to be able to search by keywords, and to be able to navigate a collection visually - but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't also have the ability to manually navigate to a folder and select an asset by name.
