Default Re: Contemplating a graphical Templatizer...

I like the part about duplicating the data files and inserting choice boxes. It would make the program a jumping off point to doing more personalization. Semi-tutorial as you use it. You can see exactly what is not being modified, or what is and where it is in the file. It would make the user braver about diving in manually to try one of the items still left on default.

Id also love to see it offer pop-up explanations of each entry. Maybe calling a seperate outside file for that like a comma-dilimted file. That would make it easy for other people to expand on the help text
