10.6: Create a new file anywhere via an Automator Service
Authored by: eliogiovanni on May 15, '10 06:50:58AM

Hi zsaeid.
I am a newbie in Automator: I made step 7 (cmd + P) and step 8. If I am inside my test folder with shortcut cmd P I open a new file .txt inside the folder; if I press ctrl click from outside the folder after selecting it, in the menu Services I read no more the option Create New File, which I had selecting Folders and not changing it in No Input as suggested in step 8. Is it correct?
Thanks!

Hi,

yes it is correct. It only works inside the current folder while nothing is selected. If you prefer to create a new file in a selected folder, come back to your service in automator and change no input to folders as before.

Best wishes.
