+/** \class FileCreatePart
+FileCreatePart is a template manager and wizard system to assist with creation of new files.
+
+Assists with creation of new files.
+
+For those who want to look beyond the GUI, the following illustrates the XML to configure the FileCreate part for a project. It simply consists of a list of filetypes that the user may wish to create for a particular project. At present, the "create" attribute is ignored.
+
+The file create part looks for a file template called \@ext (i.e. the value of the ext attribute) in the *project's* templates directory (see the PyQT appwizard template for an example).
+
+For subtypes, it looks for a template called \@ext-\@ref, so in the example below the following files would need to be present in the project's templates directory:
+
+<code>
+py
+ui
+ui-dialog
+ui-mainwin
+</code>
+
+Example XML:
+
+<code>
+\verbatim
+  <kdevfilecreate>
+    <filetypes>
+      <type ext="py" name="Python" create="template"/>
+      <type ext="ui" name="QT Designer" create="template">
+        <subtype ref="dialog" name="Dialog"/>
+         <subtype ref="mainwin" name="Main window"/>
+      </type>
+    </filetypes>
+  </kdevfilecreate>
+\endverbatim
+</code>
+
+You can also use global template definitions supplied with the FileCreate part:
+
+<code>
+\verbatim
+  <kdevfilecreate>
+    <useglobaltypes>
+      <type ext="ui" />
+    </useglobaltypes>
+    <filetypes>
+      <type ext="py" name="Python" create="template"/>
+    </filetypes>
+  </kdevfilecreate>
+\endverbatim
+</code>
+
+If a type has subtypes, and no subtypes are specified, then all subtypes are assumed to be required (as in the example above). Otherwise, specific subtypes should be specified:
+
+<code>
+\verbatim
+<useglobaltypes>
+  <type ext="ui">
+    <subtype ref="dialog"/>
+  </type>
+</useglobaltypes>
+\endverbatim
+</code>
+
+Usually, this XML forms part of the base .kdevelop file created by the appwizard.
