MacOS – Why Finder opens same folder each time i create new window by tapping finder icon in dock

There are many things that could be going wrong here. First of all, make sure that when you navigate to Finder > Preferences > General, the option "Always open folders in a new window" is unchecked. If not, there are many solutions to your problem listed below:

• Naviate to View > Show Toolbar
• Navigate to View > as List, as Columns, or as Cover Flow
• Get TotalFinder (http://totalfinder.binaryage.com/), which adds many more settings to Finder

Good luck!

Well, here you go with an AppleScript for that.

First, create the AppleScript:

1. Open Automator
2. Create a Quick Action
3. Set the input to no input
4. Drag and Drop the Run AppleScript workflow element onto the grey space.
5. Paste the code from below into the AppleScript
6. Save the workflow as Create new file
   If you have iCloud Drive activated, make sure you are saving the file under Library/Services/ in your Home Folder.

try
  tell application "Finder" to set the this_folder ¬
   to (folder of the front window) as alias
on error -- no open folder windows
  set the this_folder to path to desktop folder as alias
end try

set thefilename to text returned of (display dialog ¬
 "Create file named:" default answer "filename.txt")
set thefullpath to POSIX path of this_folder & thefilename
do shell script "touch \"" & thefullpath & "\""

To add it as a shortcut:

• Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services
• Scroll down until you find the Service Create new file
• Assign a shortcut to it by clicking on the right side none, which turns into a Add Shortcut.
  Click the Button and type the shortcut you wish to use.
  I use ⌘ Command+⌥ Option+N
