Some weeks ago I asked on Twitter whether there was a nice way to quickly create a new text documents in Finder, much like you can do on Windows. Jonas Wisser, one of my followers and blogger over at Malum Elegans, created an Applescript app for that purpose called “New Text File Here” which you can drag into the Finder’s toolbar and creates a .txt file in the folder you’re in. The script got picked by Download Squad and Lifehacker.
I just received a reply by Jonas, regarding a “new, much cleaner version” of the script. Let’s call it “New Text File Here 2”. From the blog post:
“This version asks you for a filename (instead of creating new.txt) and subsequently opens it in your default .txt-handling application (the old version didn’t).”
It’s simply the best and most intuitive solution I’ve tried so far. Go download.
