Title: Possibility for copying just a "path"
Post by: Menace on July 09, 2017, 04:01:01 PM
Hi,

maybe I missed the possibility to copy directly a path from a file (not the file itself).

Currently I have a workaround:

1. Select file
2. Open in Explorer
3. Select Path
4. Copy Path

But I just want to copy the path for example by selecting file and right click the mouse (or keyboard shortcut).

Reason why I just need just a path:

I want to import page 3 from a pdf-file inside QuarkXpress. With copy & paste or drag & drop I just get page 1 inside QuarkXpress.

If there is no possibility yet, I open a request.

Click on the folder in the M&F tree and press Ctrl+C. Copies the folder name into the clipboard.
If you select a file in the FW and you press Ctrl+C, you copy the fully qualified file name into the clipboard.

If this is still not enough, use the Copy Data app, which allows you to copy whatever data in whatever format you want into the clipboard. For one or any number of files.
