Create a new file in a project folder

One of the big changes in TM2 is that you can no longer create new files from the Project Drawer’s right click menu. This was a handy feature that I honestly miss.

Fortunately, there is a work around though it’s somewhat less intuitive.

  1. Create a new file/tab by hitting ⌥⌘N or choosing File > New Tab from the menu.

  2. Select the folder that you want to save the file in from the File Browser/Project Drawer:

    Selecting a folder in the file drawer

    Here I have the stylesheets folder selected.

  3. Save the new tab (“untitled” in the screenshot above) by hitting ⌘S or choosing File > Save from the menu.

  4. The file dialog will come up with the folder you chose in step 2 selected.

    There's your folder

    The save dialog with your folder selected.

  5. Give your new file a name and hit Enter or click Save and the file will be right where you want it!

    A new file created in a folder of your choosing

    There it is.

It’s worth pointing out that steps 1 and 2 can be done in any order.
