I think you dreamt it up. It’s not entirely clear where the file type 
should be taken from (on ⌘N) nor if this is always desired (that it 
uses whatever file type it can grab from existing window). But I’m 
open for making it smarter than now.

As George mentioned, it is possible to set the default file type for new 
files. Unless you want to change it for different folders, I recommend 
setting it via Preferences → Files instead of .tm_properties: This is 
just because everything set via the UI we can better control and it’s 
easier for a user to later discover what the value is set to.
