Creation of new standard files in tabbed folders

Post by rosale »

Hi,

it could be useful to have the option of creating new files (besides TXT and folders) straight from an opened tabbed folder. Applications offered in this features could come from a customizable list.

You can do this and wilder things using scripting already. That's what scripting is there for: customize the app beyond the crowd's horizon.

Just FYI, (maybe i didn't get you right?) did you know "New Items" in right click context menu?
There is an corresponding folder "NewItems" where you can put empty files like:
JPG.jpg
PNG.png

or pre-formated files like:
New HTML {yyyy-mm-dd}.html
New.cmd

as templates.

For example you can copy the content from "C:\WINDOWS\SHELLNEW\*.*" to "NewItems" to access them from XY context menu, like:
WINWORD8.DOC
EXCEL9.XLS

As Stephan pointed out, have you seen the "New Items"?

I'll attribute this wish to a new user who may still not know existing features and thus, for an alternate desc of this, see: http://88.191.26.34/XYwiki/index.php/New_Items
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.
