Thank you for your bug. What did you add to the Templates directory? Did you restart nautilus? How are they not working correctly? Are the item listed in the nautilus submenu?

Ah !!!! Good idea it is maybe related to this problem ... nautilus have a lot of problems for the moment ...

But it is possible not ... because the problem is that the new file is not created ... and the other bug you can't open the file with another application than the default ...
