Hey guys! First of all, big fan. TotalFinder is probably the best thing I’ve found for making the Finder actually usable, which is no mean feat. The one thing that I think would make a great addition, though, and would keep me from vacillating between XtraFinder and TotalFinder, is a “Create new file” contextual menu item. Just something that runs touch and selects the file for renaming would be enough; the ability to fill a folder with premade templates for TF to copy in, à la Elegant Chaos’ Neu, would be divine. I know it’s sort of a “Windows thing,” but it also seems like good common sense.
I’d like to +1 this. This is the one feature that prevents TotalFinder from being a complete solution for me. It would be great if you could add a “New File” contextual link or button right next to new folder!
There is a product in the Appstore that does just that and very neatly and lives well with TF 1.8.1, works as a Finder extension. New File Menu is the name of the app.
