10.6: Create a new file anywhere via an Automator Service
Authored by: auco on May 13, '10 05:52:16AM

if you ever opened Automator, you'd knew. It really depends on what you want to save in your new file...
(or: if you need to ask why you'd need it, you most likely don't need it ;-)

10.6: Create a new file anywhere via an Automator Service
Authored by: joeyblades on May 13, '10 09:35:09AM

Well, I use Automator, but I've never needed to create an arbitrary new file, which seems to be what you are trying to do. I get the impression that your real goal is to be able to assign this action of creating a file to a contextual menu...

Frankly, I don't understand why that is important to you, but perhaps it's just a difference in style. I usually start my activity at the application level and when I need a new file, command-N does the trick. I can't think of any time that I need a new file where I'm not going to work on it with some application...

Of course, I'm still just guessing at what problem you're trying to solve...
