Ability to copy path and/or entire error message

I was copying directory and got error message:
At the moment I had to compose above "quote" manually
It is useful when the path is long and user needs to investigate what's wrong with it.
For this scenario it would be even more useful if user could copy just full file path, not entire message. This can be easily achieved if file location is placed in separate read-only editbox, example Windows resource file:In this case, user can select all or part of the path and press Ctrl-C or right-click and select Copy from context menu. So Windows does all the work
It would be nice if in such dialogs Ctrl+C copied title/message/buttons to Clipboard, as it is done in standard Windows message boxes.--------
