Create files and folders from your own templates, right from the context menu.
Right-click inside a folder and choose New++ from the context menu, then pick one of your templates. The new file or folder is created instantly at that location.
Template names can include variables such as $MM, $DD, and
$YYYY that are automatically substituted with the current date — for
example, a template named Daily todo $MM-$DD-$YYYY.todo creates a
correctly dated file every time. New++ also supports $NNNN sequence
numbering and extended variables with a dialog prompt for custom input.
Use $set in a folder template's name, or hold Ctrl while creating it,
to directly create its sub-items without also creating the parent folder. You can also
create a folder pre-populated with your currently selected items.
New++ will also update variables within files, not just when creating them. "Example file {{my_variable}}.txt" will be created as "Example file 123.txt" if you have a variable named "my_variable" with the value "123". And all instances of {{my_variable}} within the file will also get replaced with the value of the variable (e.g. 123).
Add $group in a template folder to have it behave like a group. Alternatively, hold Shift while clicking a folder to have any template folder behave as a group of templates.
