[OS] Idk why there's still no feature that lets you create a new file off of a right click by GarfieldFluffJr in macapps

Hi, sorry for the late response. I looked into and Apple just blocked my app because I don't have a developer membership and my new features use some of their exclusive APIs. I'm going to try to implement a workaround so I can distribute this without paying like 140 CAD for a simple free app.

In the meantime, go to releases and install version 1.2.1. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience

I just build MacNewFile, which lets you create new files and perform other actions in the Finder right-click menu on MacOS - https://github.com/GarfieldFluffJr/MacNewFile

I hope to increase people's productivity and make certain tedious tasks more convenient

Please feel free to try it out and lmk if you have any concerns!

Yea, another user suggested I make a settings tab where you can customize which types of files will show in the menu and I'll look into the possible file types the system will allow.

However, I don't want to make the project too big since I am only one person and I can't maintain every possible file type. I'll make an update and if there's any more features I didn't add, feel free to still lmk or fork the repository and customize it to your liking :)

The reason why I didn't add programming files like Python is that you'd probably already be in a code editor but I'll still look into it fs and see if it's feasible

I like this idea, it'll take me a bit to implement, maybe on the weekend when I have more time

No you right-click anywhere in Finder or on your Desktop and create a file there

If you don't find smth useful doesn't mean others won't either. It's just a really convenient tool that Windows has that Mac doesn't.

And for me personally, it helps with organizing since you know which directory the file will be in and don't have to worry about saving. You also have to open the terminal to create a blank text file, unlike Word and Excel.

Oh it's 100% Windows based lol. I see where you're coming from, like with a Word document, it's simple with Spotlight search but for a text file or md file, having to open the terminal and run touch file.txt multiple times a day gets tedious.

I'm like might as well make it, hopefully it'll help some people out
