NewFile 0.2.2

Fixed

  • Custom file types now show their own label in the Finder menu (#2). Every type has an editable Menu Label in Preferences; leave it blank to use a label derived from the extension (e.g. "New .png").
  • Renaming a built-in type's label now updates the Finder menu too.
  • Typing a full filename into the name field (data.json, .env) no longer produces doubled extensions like data.json.json.

Improved

  • Preferences redesigned: column headers, per-row Add…/Edit… template state, clearer enable behavior, snappier field editing.
  • Template editor: Save Template / Remove Template with defined semantics (saving empty content removes the template), resizable window, JSON syntax and shell shebang hints.
  • New Uninstall NewFile… menu item that turns off the Finder extension and walks through removal — no more "app is in use".

Note

  • Custom types that previously all showed as "New file" will now display a label derived from their extension. Set your own label in Preferences at any time.

Known issue: in-app auto-update fails on this version (and 0.2.1) due to a missing sandbox entitlement — fixed in v0.2.3. Update manually once via DMG or brew upgrade --cask newfile.
