Everything doesn't copy folder names properly

Post by anmac1789 »

Hi everyone, so I use this little context menu program called copyfilenames pro v3.6 together with everything for file management purposes. But since I updated to the latest version of everything v1.5.0.1370a (x64), copyfilenames pro doesn't seem to copy folder names properly. It was working fine with everything v1368a. For example,

Then I pasted it into a new tab and got an incomplete name

Have you recently enabled:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> context_menu_focus_simple_pidl
-or-
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> context_menu_simple_pidl



Is this a copy or paste issue?

If you copy the com.android.chrome filename and paste this in Notepad, is com.android.chrome pasted?

Both of those advanced options are false so I have not turned them on.

I dont know if this is a copy or paste issue because in the 2 previous versions of everything, using the same program copyfilenames pro worked fine, It was only after updating to the latest version which I encountered this issue. When I use copyfilenames pro to copy a filename then paste it into notepad, the same problem is occuring it would not copy the full name, just partial filename. it would copy "com.android" but not the entire name. It seems as if everything ignores " . " in the filename

I see the same issue when using the Item Format: $namenoext; in Copyfilenames pro v3.6 and right-clicking a folder in Windows Explorer.

The part after the last . is removed from the folder name.



In Everything, right click under the Name column and click Copy Name.

When I right click on the folder name and select 'Copy Name' and paste into notepad for example, then the full name is copied without missing parts

So any fix for this in the newest update ?

Using $namenoext; in Copyfilenames pro v3.6 will copy the folder name without the last . part

I cannot change the behavior of Copyfilenames pro v3.6
Does Copyfilenames pro v3.6 have conditional formatting? -Copy the whole name when the item is a folder.

Are you seeing the same text copied when using right click on a folder from Windows Explorer?

Seems to me that copyfilenames pro assumes folders are treated as files so it neglects the last . part

yes, there is an option called "$name;" which assumes to copy folders and files with extension

Do you mean selecting rename within windows explorer ?
