Greetings,

No...that "create new files" it's not missing...they want you to be "clever"

Thanks, Just went to the templates folder and copied over a text file and renamed it to "New Document" and cleared it's contents. That fixed it. Thanks

No Nemo standalone?

I think the product is now called 'files' FWIW. Just noticed in the 'About files' menu item, but the executable is still called nautilus.

Obviously still pretty beta. If you rename the target of one of the places items (which you can't remove) you get an error message. I will raise a bug.

As mentioned you can't add to "Places" without source code changes.

5 of the built-in places can be removed from Places (Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos
The obvious easy way would be to delete those folders

If inclined one can keep all 5 folders as is & remove them from Places with some localized user-dir* files (3 I believe
screen shows none of them in Places though all 5 still exist
But myself don't see the point here

You can however turn any or all of the existing 5 into 'new folders', either with the same name symlinked to a new/different folder or just a new name altogether for the existing one
screen 2 ex. of renaming Pictures to Stuff, linking Documents to stuff
