Question

Is there a program I can download to add an option to create a new file to the contextual menu of finder? NuFile doesn't seem to work in Snow Leopard.

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you are happy using a toolbar button instead of the contextual menu, you can use New Text File Here from Jonas Wisser. Just drop it into Finder's toolbar.

Note: As of OS X 10.11.4 this program no longer seems to be working.

OTHER TIPS

Path Finder also adds a contextual option for creating new files, but it's shareware. Lots of other cool feature though.

This also works pretty well if you're willing to spend a bit of money: https://langui.net/new-file-menu/

New File Applescript with Toolbar Icon

Found this open source gem. Can either use the .App or add the Applescript manually. Will add a New File widget to the Finder toolbar.
