An AppleScript to create a file in the current folder
Authored by: PCheese on Feb 24, '05 07:50:31PM
I spent some time this afternoon writing a more complete solution... this one sets the file and creator type of the new file. If you use it often, save it as a stay-open application so it'll be faster on subsequent uses.

Trouble with newer version of script
Authored by: PCheese on Feb 24, '05 08:40:26PM
I'm trying to make an even better script to add custom file/creator types without modifying the source code, yet AppleScript is acting strangely... can anyone help?

Bad link

This link directs you to http://pcheese.ferazel.net/scripts/Create%20File.applescript which comes up as a text file in your browser and redirects you in turn to http://pcheese.ferazel.net/scripts/createfile.html.

Download and unzip the referenced .zip file to get Create File.app.

You can do "Show Package Contents" in Finder to see the original Applescript file main.scpt under Contents/Resources/Scripts.
