New+ Modified Date / Auto Select

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Files created using a template should change the modified date to today as if it was created immediately and automatically select the newly created file.

Scenario when this would be used?

The reason is that in a long list of files, one had to then go find that file. Sorting by modified date should show that newly created file from template to the top, however, it doesn't because the modified date is the modified date of the template.

I really like this idea, and I think it should be the default behavior. I have a local fix for this, and hope to include this in a future release of PowerToys.

Thank you for sharing!
