An AppleScript to create a file in the current folder

If you're willing to shell out some bucks, the $15 Document Palette will do the same thing, and allow you to set the filetype as well.

An AppleScript to create a file in the current folder
Authored by: lsequeir on Feb 24, '05 10:37:54AM

I found out that this functionality is already there in Panther :-)
If you do "Save as..." and drag the title icon of the desired Finder window to the sidebar of the Save dialog, it will switch to that folder.
Pretty nice, mac way of doing things!

Some other cool things about Document Palette:

It uses a keyboard shortcut. It allows you to add any file .txt, .rtf, .rtfd, .doc, .xls, .html, .ooutline, or whatever. It retains type/creator codes. It doesn't just create blank files, you can add content to the files and use them like you would stationery pads or template files.
