New Document opens File browser, cannot create new files (ie spreadsheet / rich text) anymore?

Not sure since when version;

Add Document now shows an Explorer window to browse for a file.
Looks like it 'autodetects' a lot of filetypes.
Nice feature, I use RDM to keep al our documents in place.

But how do I insert a new, blank file?
That's something I've also used a lot;
Ie add a new Rich Text document for some quick documentation with some screenshots
Or a new Spreadsheet file
without having to go to external tools to create a file first.

Am I missing something or were these features removed?

Hello,

In order to be able to create a new "Blank Document" in RDM, you will need to use a "Text Editor" entry, and make sure to check "Create New File"


Once created and launched, you should see the following:

I forgot to mention that this option is also available with the "Spreadsheet Editor" and "Rich Text Editor" entry types.
