[Lazarus] New Form default properties

[Alexsander Rosa]

And what about the file *$HOME/.lazarus/environmentoptions.xml* ?
According to unit *EnvironmentOpts* it can hold a "newformtemplate".
Is this a not-yet-implemented feature? If it is, how could I help finish it?

procedure TMainIDE.mnuNewFormClicked(Sender: TObject);
> var
>   Category: TNewIDEItemCategory;
>   Template: TNewIDEItemTemplate;
>   Desc: TProjectFileDescriptor;
>   Flags: TNewFlags;
> begin
>   Category:=NewIDEItems.FindByName(FileDescGroupName);
> *
> Template:=Category.FindTemplateByName(EnvironmentOptions.NewFormTemplate);
> *
>   if (Template is TNewItemProjectFile) and Template.VisibleInNewDialog then
>     Desc:=TNewItemProjectFile(Template).Descriptor
>   else
>     Desc:=FileDescriptorForm;
>   Flags:=[nfOpenInEditor,nfCreateDefaultSrc];
>   if (not Project1.IsVirtual) and
> EnvironmentOptions.AskForFilenameOnNewFile then
>     Flags:=Flags+[nfAskForFilename,nfSave];
>   Desc.Owner:=Project1;
>   try
>     DoNewEditorFile(Desc,'','',Flags);
>   finally
>     Desc.Owner:=nil;
>   end;
> end;

My .lazarus xml file does not have these tags.
