Right click desktop
Select Create document

The last menu item (in xubuntu) says Empty File.
But the default name for the file is New File.

From xfdesktop:

    msgid "_Empty File"
    msgstr "_Tom fil"

Thunar:

    msgid "New File"
    msgstr "Ny fil"

Not sure those are the correct strings but perhaps "_Empty File" should be changed to "_New File" so they are the same apart from the "_"?

In both Thunar and xfdesktop the menu entry is named "Empty File", so changing that in xfdesktop would create an inconsistency.

Note that the dialog window is provided by Thunar.

Maybe its not so bad after all with new/empty.

But when you create a new folder its just "create folder".

So my logic tells me create file should be the same style.

Like "Create document">"File".

Because its not called "Create empty folder" when creating a new folder.



I need a brake thinking about this to much.



Maybe putting the 4 "Create..." menu items into a sub menu would solve part of this.

So instead of:

Create _Launcher...
Create _URL Link...
Create _Folder...
Create _Document

Have:

Create
    _Launcher
    _URL Link
    _Folder
    ---------
    _custom 1
    _custom 2
    _custom 3
    ---------
    _Document

But maybe because i use Windows 7 which have a New menu like that.
