Yes, it should and it's annoying in Xcode.
Should work on macOS 13 with 4.528 (not tested yet)

Problem: FinderExtension2.bttpreset (11.7 KB) isn't working anymore "file is damaged" if I want to open a created pages or numbers document.
Reason could be: there was an update for Pages, Numbers, Keynotes several days ago.
I use 4.583.
Ah apparently they added to check whether the file is actually in the specific format. Previously if it was an empty file it was just updated once loaded. Wonder why they did that.
Anyways, I'll post an update to the preset soon. It will now need to copy some template files to the location instead of just creating empty files.
I downloaded the new Alpha today, but this isn't working still. 
@Andreas_Hegenberg Just tried the presets and it seems like if you have more than 1 preset it hides anything other than the first one.
This is with the latest alpha version as of today. I'm trying to make a very simple "Open terminal session here" command
yes, you can currently only have one custom context menu item (that one can have submenus though)
@Andreas_Hegenberg Is it possible to hide a menu item based on the file type of the item that's right-clicked? Or even just restrict it to show when it's a file instead of a folder.
currently not, maybe I can make it scriptable in the future!
Thanks for sharing this script. I love how streamlined it feels without having a pop up.
How do you guys get this up to work?
- I get it in the drop down menu
- I type in "name" and "application"
- I get Test.pages but I can't open it.
This is really one of my favorite features I need for macOS. 
CreateNewFile_exported_triggers.bttpreset (12.0 KB)
(that *.bttpreset is the same as above just imported and looked into it in 2026 (due to new BTT version) -> then exported)
I installed New File Menu Lite from the App Store (free). Does the job as long as the developer updates it with macOS versions.
more modern versions of pages require a little change to the script used in the preset (they no longer open files if they are named .pages but instead require a real .pages template)
Changing this to
cp "/some/path/to/a/real/template.pages" "{BTTFinderContextMenuTargetPath}/{BTTNewFileName}"
should work (as long as you adapt the path to point to a real empty pages file).
You're amazing. Will try it immediately.
For any other user: If you work with template (your shortcuts for headlines 1-3, bullet points, colors) the App New File Menu Lite isn't the solution. It opens up only an english template. Now if you go into the tab (which the App provides!), to the "+" and want to add your template, Apple don't give you accces to it (at least here):
- around Library/Containers/Pages (new version!) you'll get lost in this new structure system.
- I found two user templates without my names, but cryptical ones
- I used them for "+" but that App now creates a new file with .template == you cannot use this. I must be .pages
So, back to BTT.
