Got a user request for templates in Octavo (my Mac app for PDF imposition). Do you guys think I should build on top of the "Stationary Pad" finder flag? Do any of you actually use that? Advantages of using it, it'd handle the open-as-new-document flow for me. But the disadvantage is, I couldn't set a separate icon or extension for the template files. #appkit #macdev #BuildInPublic

    @amyworrall Hmmm, is that true? I remember applications used to have different icons for stationery pads back in System 7. Would be surprised if that functionality got dropped. I have used it a handful of times. Actually now I think of it, I have a Retrobatch document I should make a stationery pad for.
