+1

I'd suggest using an appropriate extension for the configuration file 
(e.g. ".conf") instead of ".defaults".

Also, in the future, it'd be better to allow the user to change those 
values in the UI, like having a checkbox "Remember this value for future 
templates" when editing a template, or even having a dedicated settings 
dialog. But having this as a config file is already very good for now.
