Description

In the version from the ppa as well as in the svn trunk version, the Dialog Save as a template
is not really usable.
The text box for description is 0 pixels high, as well as the list of Included files.
So you would be working blind or cannot see what is inside these boxes.

Screenshot attached.

The issue is in the GUI.
If you simply accept the defaults, it seems AMC added sensible files to the produced tar file.
(the main latex file and the options.xml).

You cannot however, add more files.

Priority should be set low, as there are usable work around. like creating the archive by hand.

I'm not sure this solves the problem (the problem does not show on my configuration), but I tried to fix this in revision r993: can you try it?

I have svn updated and built deb again.

Issue is resolved in so far that when you resize (as in make bigger) the dialog, a readable list and an editable description field appear where they did not
in a previous version. This is usable.

Better still would to make the default size of the dialog somewhat taller (higher).

Next try is in revision r996 (I added a height request as you suggested). I hope this works...

Works.
Now the boxes are visible and usable immediately.
The default height now makes the list just big enough for two items, which is probably what one wants as a minimum.
Is there a way to increase the windows height, each time a included file is added? Then it would be perfetc.

This could be ok at the beginning, but when the window reaches the bottom of the screen, this could make the things more complicated.
So I'm afraid I will let the user resize the window...

Agree on last remark.
