Nautilus, the file-browser of GNOME on Linux, provides a template system for this: https://fedoramagazine.org/creating-using-nautilus-templates/ https://fedoramagazine.org/creating-using-nautilus-templates... It is a good approach but lacks presentation to users. Most users require "touch new.ext" and therefore complain about the lack of this item. I've added one template "New file" with no extendsion and not content, exactly what I need to get started. It is better than a hidden registry just for applications but could be improved with well designed default behavior for "empty files".
