Isn't this how *.loc.sample files already work? If there is no pre-existing *.loc file, the *.loc.sample file is copied to become the initial *.loc file which the local Galaxy administrator can update/fill in as needed.

Hey folks! I'm trying to revise a tool that allows the user to select from an extendable list of template files for generating blast report output. The idea is that if some reporting needs aren't covered by a generic template, then they can develop their own template which can then show up on the list. And, wanting this to work with a tool that is versioned in the toolshed!
So: 1) is there a way to include a .loc.sample in the tool that gets uploaded, and then can be manually revised over time? A .loc file that subsequent versions of the tool would reuse (instead of using their own minimal one that comes with toolshed install)?
I can simply have the default template in the tools code folder, since it is apt to be upgraded over time. Custom reports would have their own absolute file paths defined in the .loc file.
Thanks for your input!
