[I can’t find any other way to make a bug report or feature request]
I made a file with several settings like board size, material, etc. and I want to treat it like a template. On a Mac you do this by setting “Stationary Pad” in the Get Info dialog box of the Finder. If I then double click the icon, the Mac will copy it and pass the copy to Carbide Create. However, if the “File / Open…” dialog is used from with the app, Carbide Create should see the attribute and not blindly write to the template file on a Save. It should use a Save-As style dialog perhaps with a modified name.
If you don’t wish to handle this mechanism of templating, perhaps create a template file type. This method would then work on any OS.
Another option is to handle read-only files properly. You just give an error. Native Mac applications warn you it is RO when you open it and offer to make a copy. Even Linux applications warn upon open.
