I think it would be a valid feature request to (additionally) support an 
external folder  to load templates from or save them to.

This should not be difficult but I can't afford looking into it since I 
absolutely don't need it personally.

If you create an entry in the issue tracker 
(https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi/issues) I'll add the "wish" and 
"beginner" labels to it.
