Another way to deal with this problem is to use the contextual menu plug-in "NewCM" which allows you to set up a "new file" contextual menu from which you can create a new Nisus File (or any other file type you prepare a template for). Upon choosing your file type of choice you are immediately asked for a title for the new file before it is opened, hence the file is never untitled. This functionality is said to be modelled on the "New" contextual menu in MS Windows.

The drawback of this method is that you'll _never_ be prompted to save, and you might forget to save properly those temp files you actually want to keep. This macro will begin overwriting the old temp files each time you start up Nisus.
