Create .txt file

[dcaccount]

Hello,

coming from Windows world I miss right click to create a new text file in the current location.

I have read some posts and created the script:

QUOTE
tell application "Finder" to make new file at (the target of the front window) as alias
UNQUOTE

and added it as application to Finder toolbar to create a new file in current location.

Everything runs smoothy but the script does not add the ".txt" extension.

What shall I do to get the script to add the ".txt" extension? Please advise.

Thank you so much,
daniele

Hello,

I tried that script and it makes a new file, its a txt but without the extension, why do you need the extension?

Ok here i made a script that will create it with the .txt extension.

tell application "Finder" to make new file with properties {name:"Untitled.txt"} at (the target of the front window) as alias

What i added was "with properties {name:"Untitled.txt"}
If for some reason it still doesn't have the .txt extension just get info and uncheck "hide extension".
