No. I sure would like that though. On the Mac I just save a document and lock it in the Finder then when I open it I can't edit it without saving it as a copy. May be some way of doing the same in Windows, I am just unfamiliar with it.

GaryLearnTech Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 On a Mac, it looks like the Stationery Pad feature still works. That's been in existence since Noah was a boy though, for myself, I've rarely used it. File > Get Info > tick Stationery pad checkbox What should then happen is when you double-click on the template document in the Finder, the Finder makes a copy and opens that instead. (To modify the stationery pad document, either turn off the checkbox and edit as usual - or go into your app and select File > Open and select it directly. Or drag-an-drop it onto the app in, for example, your Dock.)

At some point the Stationary pad feature was changed from opening a document as an unnamed copy ready to be saved where-ever you wanted to save it, to opening a saved in the same location copy of the file. This is useless behaviour because we now have to move our copies out of our Templates/Stationary folders to a better location. much better is just Locking the file. Then if you try to change it you can save as a copy somewhere useful.

If it’s ‘Stationery’ you can move it wherever you like, but if it’s ‘Stationary’ then you can’t move it at all. Sorry, but I just couldn’t resist the temptation to post that!

Fair enough if you're trying to fit that into a long-established workflow. But not necessarily useless if you're establishing a new workflow… Quote —— Gary —— Photo/Designer/Publisher: Affinity Store, v2.1.1 release Mac mini (M1, 2020), 16GB/2TB, macOS Ventura 13.4.1(c) • MacBook Pro (Intel), macOS Ventura • Windows 10 via VMware Fusion • iOS: current release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
