Thanks a lot

Hi,
Configuration - Options - Misc. - Redefine hotkeys, there you can assign a shortcut for cm_CopyFullNamesToClip, it's under [__Clipboard__].

I do this a zillion times a day so I've added a button for it.

What's always bugged me is why you can't copy a file with Right-click->Copy or Ctrl-C and then paste, e.g. in Notepad, to get the full path. The clipboard is supposed to be intelligent like that, isn't it?

...or press Ctrl+Shift+Enter on file to get it into TC's command line

Hi there,

when I use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, indeed full path and name is copied into command line, but it is quoted which means that I have to remove quotes from the beginning and from the end of the string.

Is it possible to configue TC in such a way, not to use quotes in above mentioned case?

Thanks

AFAIK long names with spaces either MUST containe quotes either it'll be inceorrect... May be you cann't.

cm_CopyFullNamesToClip does not surround the filename with quotes.

I got an solution of this issue about one year ago: A program called arg2clip I wrote. It copies its parameter into the clipboard.

I wrote a short readme and uploaded the program at
www.wsdh.org/~matma/download/arg2clip.zip

A reg-file to create a entry in the context-menu is included.
You can also use arg2clip as a tool within the starter menu of TC (the argument is %P%N). Use it with a shortcut key (I prefer Ctrl+Y) and it will boost your work.
