I want to add an option under Create New to create a file of particular type. For example I use Rnote to create notes,. They have .rnote extension.

Now I create a empty file (image, 3rd option from above) with extension as .rnote , but that file when opened in the application can’t be written to, because it is not a proper .rnote file, it is empty file with that extension.

How do I quickly create a proper file for rnote or any application for example libreoffice?

I am on fedora 43, kde plasma.

    Since your question has already been answered, here’s a bonus:
    Add a Desktop Entry in ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/ to get right-click menu actions.

    e.g. to add to Dolphin (and Konqueror) right-click menu

    [Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
MimeType=<MIME type of whichever type of file the application will work with>;
Actions=NameOfAction
Icon=icon-name-from-theme-for-desktop-entry

[Desktop Action NameOfAction]
Icon=icon-name-of-action-from-theme
Name=Name of action that the user will see
Exec=application-as-you-would-call-in-cli "%f"

    What the %f means and what you might want to use instead
