Save as template is nice, can we get this for groups?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First off, thank you for writing diylc and making it available.

The save as template feature is nice.  I'm using it for the things like text 
strings that run along my layout for strip boards to quickly locate pin 
locations.  With the backwards text and rotating strings 90 degrees to run up 
and down the sides, I can also flip and/or reverse the printing to work from 
the other side of the board easily.

I find that I spend more time labeling ICs as groups than the time I spend with 
everything else combined.  To be able to keep these created Ics, either as a 
group or some sort of library, would be extremely useful.

I have to take back my statement about the template feature being nice.  When I 
finally closed diylc and then reopened the program, all the templates were 
gone.  According to the log, the program had a problem with the config file.   
I downloaded 3.20 and the problem still exists.

hmm, some people have reported the same but I can't figure out the problem. Can 
you send the previous log file (the one when you created templates)? 
config.properties is not the file that saves templates, but config.xml is.

actually I think I found it. Java 7 seems to be the problem. In java 6 it works 
fine. I'll try to work around it.
