setFile method cannot be used without the class constructor

[Laurent Laville]

Hello,

I would like to use your Text_Template package in such condition

$tplDir = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

try {
    $mainTemplate = $tplDir . 'genext.skeleton.tpl';
    $tpl = new Text_Template();

    // cannot be used due to exception raised
    $tpl->setFile($mainTemplate);

} catch (Exception $e) {
    die ($e->getMessage());
}

But I should only use it with the class constructor like that :

    $mainTemplate = $tplDir . 'genext.skeleton.tpl';
    $tpl = new Text_Template($mainTemplate);

Else I got InvalidArgumentException raised

"Template file could not be loaded."

To keep features as expected, I suggest to modify class constructor as :

public function __construct($file = '')
{
    if (!empty($file)) {
        $this->setFile($file);
    }
}

Regards.

Sorry but I hate such situation with an issue opened so long time.
I can also understand that this feature is not acceptable for you for any reason, so I prefer to close it.
