RIght Click – New File for Mac OSX Finder

One of the most common Mac OS X feature requests I get—mainly from Windows users switching to the Mac—relates to creating new files. In Windows, if you right-click in a folder, one of the options in the resulting contextual menu lets you create a new document right there in that folder. This is indeed a neat trick—when creating a new document, you often have a pretty good idea where you’re going to save it; in fact, that folder is often open in the Finder, so why shouldn’t you be able to create a new document just as you can a new folder?

    I found a solution to this problem that works on all version of Mac OS X, its as easy as 2 mouse clicks. It uses a folder with templates for new files and it provides a list to choose from when creating a new file. This is very handy cause you can customize your own templates, especially if your doing web work and need certain templates for specific work.

    There is another tool to do this, you can also create your own templates with it. Just search for NewDoc in AppStore.
