Copy Path Not name to clipboard

Post by Rene »

when i search for a file, i often i need to copy & paste just the path into other programs.

Could we add a feature "copy full path" please ?

Double quote copy as path
I want to note that the user needs both forms: Path & "Path"
There are some cases that only one of them works and the other doesn't.

A keyboard shortcut and context menu item to do both would be useful, added to my TODO list.
