Description Fernando M. Muniz 2024-12-10 22:26:28 UTC

When creating new files, whenever the user adds "/" when re/naming a file's, it should put the file under a folder and sub-folders of the names divided by "/", leaving the last one to the file itself.

To put it simply, naming a text file like this would create the folder, sub-folders and the file inside of them:
Cool folder/Cooler sub-folder/Coolest text.txt

That's exactly what it does do when creating new folders. Could be extended to files too I suppose.

"Folder/.txt" should create a generically-named text file. It should make the feature even faster.

My apologies, this belongs on an entire new bug report.

Please don't close bugs as RESOLVED INTENTIONAL when you're not a developer or bug triager. This is for the non-inline "create new" dialog, and it's a valid request for that. Re-opening.
