Coding Snacks / IDEA: New folder containing a new txt file of same name made via context menu
« on: April 12, 2009, 04:09 PM »
It would be convenient if the Win context menu had an option to create a new folder, the naming of which would automatically cause the creation of a text file of the same name in that folder. Frosting on the cake would be to have the newly created text file automatically open using the system default app, or even better, with a user-specified text editor.
I'm thinking of (what is for me) a fairly common situation where I download a file, say, WonderApp_v1.0.rar. I prefer to make an appropriately named new folder, into which I can drag-and-drop the downloaded file (and any related files). But a second operation is then needed to create a text file within the folder (e.g. WonderApp_v1.0.txt). A text file is, of course, handy for general notes and perhaps to record the password, if any, needed to unpack the downloaded file.
Does anything like this already exist?
