Question

I wanted to make a templated constructor, but I found I had no way of explicitly listing the template arguments, so I had to find another solution. Here’s what I did:

ResourceManager rm = ResourceManager::Create<physfs::ifstream>();

Do you have any other ideas how I might achieve this upon construction? or is this a good enough solution (not too odd)?

Note: I’m using a move constructor (which is the only public constructor) to avoid creating unnecessary copies of the class.

I think your code should do. To improve design, consider declaring types inside (for instance) ResourceManager and using that to qualify the constructors, as needed.
