We are talking about functions that integrate perfectly into the operating system that we mentioned to improve its functionality. In addition, Microsoft is little by little adding new tools for different areas and modes of operation, as is the case at hand now.
Since its appearance, this integration of new functions has not stopped, for the benefit of users and regulars of the suite. First of all, it is worth mentioning that we can download this open source project at no cost from this link. Well, now we are telling you all this because a new feature is in full development that will help us with storage in the disk drives from Windows.
Specifically, we are referring to the tool they have called New+. This is actually a new PowerToys feature that allows users to create files and folders from a custom set of templates. At this point it is worth mentioning that there are various external third-party applications that have been performing this type of task for a long time. Hence now Microsoft has made the decision to launch its own solution.
Initially it is aimed at Windows advanced users, as well as developers. Although it is expected that it will also be very useful even for those less experienced in the mentioned operating system.
What is New+ from PowerToys for?
Surely on many occasions we have found ourselves faced with the circumstance that we create a good number of files or folders with similar content. This content can focus on similar text documents, development projects, scripts, images, and more.
Well, the new tool we mention will allow us to manage all of this in a much more effective way in Windows thanks to certain templates. The goal of New+ is to improve the New option in the Windows context menu. At the moment and over the years, this menu only offers the possibility of create new folders or documents and empty. Hence we could say that there is a lot of room to add new options. And that is precisely what New+ does.
Here we can establish customizable templates that will allow us to adapt the function to different ways of working with files and folders. The goal of all this is to offer some of these sample elements so that users can get an idea of what is possible to do. There is also talk of adding support for a template market in the future to facilitate the organization of more types of this content.
As expected, there is also the possibility that New+ will later adopt functions related to Artificial Intelligence. All using GenAI to assist in the creation of objects through customizable instructions.
To finish we will tell you that this is a functionality that is currently in the testing period. That is why it is expected that it will soon be part of the final version of PowerToys to all users.
