This sheet also has a destination folder for the file you are  
creating. By default it should be that of the selected folder in the  
project drawer, but my guess is that somehow it wasn’t (or there were  
multiple selections or similar in the project folder.)

If the file created already exists, it does not create a new one, but  
just “loads” that one. So I think the problem was that the  
destination folder was just set to where you had the existing utils.py.

Don’t let the structure in the project drawer fool you when you  
manually create files from inside TM: they are always added to the  
selected folder, or folder with the current selected file, or root,  
regardless of where they were actually created on disk (will change.)
