I want to add an option under Create New to create a file of particular type. For example I use Rnote to create notes,. They have .rnote extension.

Now I create a empty file (image, 3rd option from above) with extension as .rnote , but that file when opened in the application can’t be written to, because it is not a proper .rnote file, it is empty file with that extension.

How do I quickly create a proper file for rnote or any application for example libreoffice?

I am on fedora 43, kde plasma.

    Creating a .prototype file in ~/Templates didn’t work for me on KDE Plasma version 5.27.5.

    Because it’s my own filetype I added it in “File Associations” known types in text category, to open with Kate, Gvim, etc, just in case, but didn’t help.

    Is something else required?

      It’s not a dotfolder. It has to be “Templates” not “.Templates”.

      Hence my follow-up on how to hide it.

        Sorry typo, it’s indeed ~/Templates (even verified to be sure but even has a specific icon), was already there, I didn’t create it. So unfortunately still does not work.
