Add Copy Path Function

Post by BrettUSA269 »

Sometimes I need to copy just the path of a file and would like to be able to copy just the path without the whole path with file name.

Right now I have to open up the file name path which pops up Explorer Windows then copy from there. Would like to just highlight the Everything path and copy it in one step vs two.

There is already Copy Path in the context menu
which does exactly this.

horst.epp is correct.

Here is an example of the context menu with a screenshot:
Copy Full Path to Clipboard - "C:\temp\New Text Document.txt"
Copy Path to Clipboard - "C:\temp"
Copy Name to Clipboard - "New Text Document.txt"

If you can't see those options yet then you may have to go to
Everything Options > General > Context Menu.

Edit: Screenshots are from 1.5a but I just confirmed that Context Menu options with copy path can also be found in 1.4.

You can also assign a hotkey to copy a path - from Everything, to the clipboard.
Tools | Options | General -> Keyboard, 'File | Copy Path to Clipboard'

Ctrl + Shift + C should be the default action to copy the full path and filename to the clipboard.
