When using Dolphin in KDE4 to *Create New > Text File...* the new file is not empty, it contains a space and a newline character. I have looked for some kind of setting or template file that controls this default and have not been successful. I was wondering if anyone knows how to modify this behavior or can provide a link to a how to. My goal here is to simply create an empty file just like if you used *touch newfile.txt*.
Looks like a case for https://bugs.kde.org.
If it comes down to it being a bug, I'll file a report. Just want to make sure it's not just a template somewhere first.
/usr/share/templates/TextFile.desktop will let you configure it. You can point the URL variable to your desired template file. Pete.
