What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

When I create a new folder, I get the following dialog:
image

When I create a new file, the dialog that appears looks the same.

Just by looking at the dialog, I have no way to figure out what I am about to do (create a folder or a file).
I don't even see that I am about to create something new.

So, to improve the user experience, the UI texts should describe the current action.

Title: Create new folder
Prompt in textbox: Enter a folder name
Left Button: Create

vs.

Title: Create new file
Prompt in textbox: Enter a file name
Left Button: Create

Requirements

  • The title of the "Enter an item name" should reflect the current action
  • The button text "Set name" should describe the end goal, i.e. to create something instead of the (more technical) aspect of setting the name
