The reason why is that I sometimes like to keep notes in Calibre about collections of books, such as series. Right now I drag and drop an empty text file into Calibre, edit the metadata, and double-click it to open it in a text editor to make my changes there.

It would be more convenient to have a menu option to create the text file for me without having to go back to Windows Explorer and browse to where I keep the empty text file.

Heck, with this one little change, Calibre could be a serious note taking app! Obviously it was never meant for that, which is why this would be better as a plugin than as a native feature.

Edit: I noticed you can create an empty epub with the Add Empty Book, but that's not particularly useful for those of us who aren't familiar with editing epubs. Text files are so much easier to work with.
Step 1) Add empty book, adjust the metadata
Step 2) Drop the txt (created with your fav editor) file into the formats box

I create Series (Index.txt) files all the time for largish seried (I cut from series listings on the web and paste into the txt file)
