FILESAVE: Confusion using “Save as Template” with “Template Manager”

How do I create a folder to save my Template under Draw category?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a template document
  2. File-> Save as Template
  3. Confused as in Screenshot

Current behavior:
I want to save, not allowed; I want to create folder, don’t know how.

Expected behavior:
I can save document template whichever category I want to…

This wasn’t a bug but a question:

(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=75445 Screenshot In Bugzilla)

Checked with LO 4.0.1.1 (RC1):

(Draw) File → Save As Template…

(1) Select “My Templates”

(2) Click on “Save”

(3) Enter template name → “Accept” → Close Template Manager

save_as_template_draw

(4) File → New → Templates

(5) Template Manager → Tab Drawings → My Templates

(6) Select the newly created template

draw_03

Don’t you think this is silly? and when I select “My Templates” I can see the Drawing Tab, so I would like to save in Drawing and that won’t work. Thank you for the solution BTW, but why there is the difference between your save dialog and mine.
