The New file operation is missing in Ubuntu 13.04. How can I fix it? enter image description here

The solution is to add files in ~/Templates directory. For example adding an empty file named Text.txt the New Document option is added.

enter image description here

So we can add there files with different extensions to view them into New Document option.

cd ~/Templates
touch Text.txt

17.10 is missing the "Empty Document" prompt. How do I add that? – EODCraft Staff Nov 12 '17 at 12:32
This brings it back in “Files” (Nautilus), but not on the desktop. – caw May 27 '21 at 19:17
