Right click new > File

Hello

So on Windows if I want to createa a new file I just right click and select new> text file for example.

However my MacOSX you can only create a new folder..how do I enable the option to create a new text file from the menu system?

Cheers

Paul

There is no equivalent in macOS. To create a new text file use TextEdit.

Just to add, see this page to create a simple Automator app.
