An AppleScript to create a file in the current folder
Authored by: biedawo on Feb 24, '05 12:36:42PM

This is a common behavior for me, as well, and an area that I feel Apple needs to improve.

I'm currently demoing "Default Folder X" for exactly this reason--Save As... dialogs now have a popup menu showing currently open Finder windows. (I can't believe that Apple doesn't include this--I've been sending it as feedback since 10.0)

I wrote a contextual menu item that allows me to right-click in a window and select "New Text File", which operates pretty much like the "New Folder" menu item. You can download it from: http://tina.stanford.edu/~hills/Tidbits

Incidentally, I believe that "Contextual Menu Workshop" has some options for adding applescripts to the finder's contextual menus...
