<p dir="auto">The rationale is that you can have a directory with only other directories, if we always created inside the selected item, the user would have to take extra steps to select the parent (or deselect if parent is the file browser’s root).</p>
<p dir="auto">This is also relevant when using copy/paste in the file browser (which use the same logic).</p>

<p dir="auto">Correct, in that <em>New Tab</em> (⌥⌘N) does not reference the file browser. But I can try to make it do it, though it would fall victim to the same logic about needing to have the selected folder expanded.</p>
<p dir="auto">I may revise the thing about expanded folder, but it introduces some code complexity because then we ought to expand the folder when creating a new file, and folder content is loaded asynchronously…</p>
