This is a simple Nautilus Extension to add a "New File" context menu entry for creating new empty, .txt or .ods files.

From the main repository folder, run

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

This installs the Nautilus extension to ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/. If you need to, change the path in the CMakeLists.txt file.

To uninstall, simply run

make uninstall

from within the build folder.
