Create New File in Finder for Alfred 2.0

Posted on March 24, 2013 in Alfred.

Creating a new file in Mac OS Finder using Alfred App.

Alfred 2.0 has been written from the ground up and is a vast improvement on the original. As well as a number of other changes, the new Workflows are now more powerful than previous Alfred Extensions. However, old extensions are no longer supported and must be re-written to work with the new system.

I'll be releasing a number of new Alfred Workflows in the near future, but I've started by re-writing the Create New File extension I released last year. Once again I'd like to thank Chris Kalafarski (farski) for improving the first ever version of my script. Thanks to George for adding a critical update to prevent overwriting existing files. 

Download the new Alfred Workflow below.

How to use this Workflow

For help please click here. I'll update this help page specifically for the new Workflow soon.

I have also added a hotkey option. You can specify the hotkey from your Alfred Workflow window (I find CTRL + ALT + N works quite nicely).

If you have any questions or comments please let me know, and I'll be happy to help.
