Paste with path from Search results

Post by *Horst.Epp »

Another file manager (YXplorer) has an enhanced paste function named "Paste here with path".
With this function I can copy entries from search results (Everything or other results) including the path to the target.
Currently TC is unable to do this in any native way
and we have to use a TC plugin like CopyTree.

Hmm, If I, in a search result window in TC, right click on afile (not a folder) and choose Copy, I can paste that filename as text in other places with full path - same goes for the "Feed to listbox" panel.

If works for copying to text fields, but not for copying into a text editor.

But maybe I misunderstood your wish...?

That doesn't work.

Example:
Root\f1\file.txt
Root\f2\

While in root dir search for *.txt
Right click copy file.txt found in f1
Go into f2
Paste
You get
root\f2\file.txt
What you should get
root\f2\f1\file.txt

There is no pasting the path at all for me and I guess also not for you.

Right click copy file.txt found in f1
I assume that you right click root\f1\file.txt in the search dialog window
Go into f2
I assume that you mean that you open root\f2 in a file panel
Paste
Where do you paste to - the file panel or the command line?
1. If I paste to the file panel - of course I get the file pasted in root\f2
2. If I paste to command line I get root\f1\file.txt in the command line.

So if you want to achive 1. but to root\f2\f1 then you are right, a new function is needed in TC.
