I knew you'll tell so and make me struggle with english. ;)

Yes.

Because if it is in the same project, then it displays "File already exists".
I would have to store tempalte form in separate project.
If I wanted to change something in template form I would have to open next 
instance of Gambas with this project.
Every project can have different template form and it is comfortably to have 
it with the project instead of looking for it in other directories.
In theory it would be possible to modify "existing" tab to make it ask for 
changing name but I think that it may create an unnecessary disturbance.
I think that separate tab is the least inconvenient solution.
If somebody does not need that option he won't use it. For those who may find 
it usefull it will be always at hand.
My modification has one more advantage. If in file of form class is reference 
to name of this form then it will be replaced with new name automatically 
what could be undesirable in "existing" tab because "existing" tab is 
orginally an ordinary copying.

It's only a small improvement. One click, no searching, no hand copying, no 
changing words in template class code.

I made big application in MS Access and template form was very usefull there. 
Now I must rewrite it on Linux and I want use Gambas to do it. Because of 
that I would like to have any improvement.

That's why I'm asking if there's any problem to add it to Gambas permanently.

If it is impossible, it is O.K. I can still make modyfication by myself after 
every new Gambas version.
