--- Comment #1 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
Hello,

>Maybe a way to make it easy to add new types for "create new" files ?

the "Create New…" menu is already customisable through the Templates folder. So
while the "Create New>Text File" will always create a file with the .txt
extension currently, you can simply create an empty "Markdown.md" file under
"Home/Templates" (make sure this folder is set as your template folder in
System Settings>Places) and (perhaps after a restart) that Markdown.md file
should be available as a creation option in the "Create New…" menu.

For context you might be interested in
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494679 where users had accidentally set
their template folder to be their home folder and all their personal files were
available as templates in the "Create New" menu.

Does this sufficiently fulfill your feature request?
