Create file with extension

The "Create file with extension" feature allows you to create a file with a custom extension in your workspace. You can right-click on a folder or file (or within the root of the Vault), and the file will be created at the specified path after the modal dialog.

Note

When using "Create file with extension" on a file in the workspace, it will create the new file in the same folder as the right-clicked file.

Modal Subsettings

This modal includes two toggle settings to integrate it with other UNITADE features:

Below is an example image of these options in the modal:

• Include in extensions registry:

  Enabling this setting will add "EVERY" sub-extension of the full filename to the default extensions, similar to the on-load unsafe registry but disregarding case-insensitive mode. For example:

  # Example of filename created:
  example.conf.dat.dts
  
  # Output for the extensions ("extensions" setting):
  ['conf', 'dat', 'dts']

• Include in code editor module:

  Enabling this setting will add "EVERY" sub-extension of the full filename to the code editor extensions, similar to the on-load unsafe registry while also disregarding case-insensitive mode.

Warning

This toggle is closely related to the code editor module and its behavior with extensions. For more information, refer to: "Code editor - working with extensions"

As noted, it is not recommended to enable both toggles simultaneously due to potential instability and/or issues. For more details on this mode and how it behaves in edge cases, see the corresponding article.
