When I copy a directory from the harddrive into a plugin a wish there was a way to find out what dir on the harddrive was copied. Currently I don't think there is a failsafe way of doing this. If the directory that is copied is empty only a FsMkDir is triggered and I as a plugin author has no way of knowing what dir was acutally copied.

Indeed this isn't currently available - why would this be useful?

Well I was thinking of a couple of plugin ideas where the plugin will contain a list of directories. To add directories to the plugin a convenient way would be to use the copy command. But then the problem occurs to know what directory was actually copied, especially if the directory is empty.
The workaround I can think of is to get the current directory and the check the FsMkDir and compare it with the directories in the current directory. But I don't think TC switches the current directory to the sourcepane at all times. So actually what would be nice to get hold of is the path shown in the sourcepane. I guess it could be retrieved by sending a cm_CopySrcPathToClip. But the you have to push and pop the current clipboard I persume. Oh well I'm just thinking aloud here
