Description Mathieu Jobin 2004-11-13 23:05:23 UTC

Version:           2.3.1 (using KDE 3.3.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9

I'd like to be able to simply right click on a folder in the file tree view, and says "Add new file" which would be added to this specific location. 
 
 then, filename would be asked and file created. 

I already sent this request to Quanta, but this is also highly needed for kate, I've been asking around and I've been suggested to create a separate bug for each project, instead of linking them.

Comment 4 Dominik Haumann 2009-07-13 12:14:48 UTC

Creating a new folder exists in the context menu. I think this should be fixed in the dir operator itself.

SVN commit 1078555 by dfaure:

Move KNewMenu from libkonq to kdelibs, and call it KNewFileMenu there.
http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/2629
The purpose is so that "RMB / New File" can be added in kdiroperator, which
benefits KFileDialog and other users of kdiroperator.
The good thing is that this gets rid of some code duplication for creating
directories: the libkonq code moving to libkfile means that KDirOperator::mkdir
can now use it, rather than its own fork of it.

Review request for Kate and kdelibs.


Changes
-------

Now David Faure have added KNewFileMenu in kdelibs and which is also being used in KDirOperator. So I have added new method called setNewMenuSupportedMimeTypes in KDirOperator which internally calls KNewFileMenu::setSupportedMimeTypes and have used this method in kate filebrowser plugin  :) .


Summary
-------

Right click in filesystem browser you will find new option called "New File..." which will create a new Empty file at given location.
