create new addon from template

[sirinsidiator]

In my local build environment I use an ant script to create new projects from templates. It asks if I want to create an addon or library, copies the files from the appropriate template folder, renames the manifest.txt to match the addon name and finally replaces the tokens in all files.

A better way would be to allow tokens in filenames too, instead of having any special files.

Kagrenac should follow the following procedure:

1. Check a folder which is supposed to contain the templates. This folder comes with a few predefined templates (blank, addon, library), but the user can also add custom templates.

• The blank template would just be a minimal example of what is needed to run code.
• "Addon" could contain some utility functions and patterns that are often used (e.g. global namespace variable + multiple files, LAM settings panel, logging facilities)
• "Library" would do the same, just for a project that should be considered a library.

2. Show the user a list of all of them to choose from.
3. Ask the user what the addon title, author name, api version, addon version etc should be.
4. Copy the template to the target folder and replace tokens in all filenames and files.

The whole process could look like this:

>kagrenac create MyAddon
Please select a template:
1. Blank - A minimal addon with only the bare necessities
2. Addon - A template with everything addons regularly need
3. Library - A template specifically for libraries
4. MySuperDuperTemplate - Has all the secret sauce
