bulk-empty-files README

This is the README for the "bulk-empty-files" extension, designed to streamline the creation of multiple empty files in bulk. This extension simplifies file management tasks by allowing users to specify a list of filenames and extensions, and the extension will create the corresponding empty files in the selected folder.

Features

  • Bulk Empty File Creation: Quickly create multiple empty files at once using a simple format like [file-1, file-2].txt or [file-1, file-2 , file4, File5.log].txt.
  • Folder Selection: Choose any folder in your workspace to generate the empty files.
  • Extension Flexibility: Supports creating files with or without specified extensions.

Requirements

This extension doesn't have any external dependencies. It works out-of-the-box in any workspace with access to the file system.

Extension Settings

This extension does not add any specific settings but relies on the following configuration steps:

  • Command: You can invoke the extension by running the command bulk-empty-files.createEmptyFiles in the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).

Known Issues

  • If an empty file name is provided (e.g., [file-1, ]), the extension skips creating that file.
  • Files that already exist in the folder are skipped and not overwritten.

Release Notes

1.0.0

Initial release of bulk-empty-files.
