Subject: [9fans] creating new files in acme
Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 17:26:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200105230026.f4N0QSc05792@ducky.net> (raw)

I am finding it very inconvenient to create new files in acme.
"New" creates an unnamed files.  A certain project at work
requires some /very/long/path/names.  It is annoying to have
to paste /very/long/path/name into the tag of each created
new file.  It would be nice if New would somehow inherit the
directory from the tag of the context from which it is
executed, and create a tag like /very/long/path/name/NewFile
for the new file.

My workaround: in a "win" window, type "touch filename",
then right-click filename to bring the new empty file in.
But this feels crufty.
