Add "Copy Path to Clipboard" to pop-up menu

Post by Shohreh »

Hello

I'm currently using release 1.3.4.686 (x86), and have a suggestion to make to the pop-up menu that is displayed when right-clicking on any item in the list of hits.

Add "Copy Path to Clipboard" so that users can then simply type "cd " and paste the clipboard to get to where the file lives.

This is very useful when using file managers such as TotalCommander.

Cheers,

But option "Copy Path to Clipboard" is in Everything 1.3.4.686 (x86), maybe with you is not enabled.

Proceed as follows >> Tools - Options... - Context Menu, click "Copy Path to Clipboard" and select the Show this item - Apply - OK, and you have the context menu Copy Path to Clipboard.

Both Copy Path & Copy Full Name to Clipboard already exist.

I've assigned them to the F5 & F6 keys respectively.
Options | General | Keyboard
(F5 is the commonly used "Copy" command since the Norton Commander days.)

And for pasting into my file manager (Salamander), or elsewhere, is exactly its purpose.

Arrrrrrrrrgh!
That's 20 minutes of my life spent on finding how to accompany 'Copy Full Name to Clipboard' with 'Copy Path to Clipboard'!
ARRRRRRRGH!
The first is included by default; the second you have to hunt for.
Yes, it's in the context menu - but that's something I pathologically avoid so as to minimise, to avoid adding ANYTHING to those burgeoning, slow to load, popups.

Should note that as of 1.4beta, Copy Name is also available as a keyboard shortcut, in Options | Keyboard.
(Alt+N on my end :-).)
