-One of the biggest complaints from many Mac "switchers" is the inability to create new files in Apple's Finder program. Creating a new text file in Windows Explorer is a simple right-click operation, which, if you relied on it heavily, is sorely missed in OS X. In fact even many longtime mac users like myself find this oversight inexcusable.
-
-Luckily there are ways around Apple's omission. Just in the last two days I've run across no less than for ways to create new files directly in the Finder. 
-
-The first is an application called [Document Palette][5]. Document Palette runs in the background and allows you to create new documents in the current folder. With a folder active in Finder, press Control+Option+Command+N to make the palette appear, then select the document type you wish to create. 
-
-New files aren't limited to blank documents, you can create new documents using templates with, say, basic HTML code.
-
-But Document Palette isn't free, a single user license will set you back $8, which while cheap, still seems unnecessary for something so basic.
-
-Another app you could check out is [NuFile][4] which can create a new file in the Finder with just two clicks. Call me lazy, but why two?
-
-The third method is for users of the popular Quicksilver app and comes courtesy of [Vacuous Virtuoso][3]. If you already have Quicksilver installed you just need to activate the "Make New" action. 
-
-To use the "Make New" command with templates navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver and create a new folder named templates. Then just create whatever file type templates you'd like to have access to and save them in the templates folder. Add a hotkey combo for Quicksilver's "make new" command and you're all set.
-
-This morning I found an article on John Gruber's [Daring Fireball][1] that reminded me of the method I used to use for creating a new files in Finder. Gruber's method uses [Big Cat scripts][2] which can add an Applescript to the Finder's contextual menu and pretty much mimics the behavior of Window's Explorer. Gruber has a copy of an Applescript you can use to get started.
-
-The final option is a bit extreme, but I gave up on Apple's Finder quite a while ago. I use Cocoatech's [Path Finder][6] instead and Path Finder ships with a contextual menu item for creating new files. Admittedly Path Finder is not free ($35), but it offers an impressive set of features for the price.
-
-No matter what method you end up using, at least there are ways around Apple's oversight.
