Small enhancement for virtual panel support

currently:
%v and %V give name and full name of current file respecting virtual panel.
Only %N gives real file name.

but %%S gives Virtual names, the same for %P%S.
%F %L .... return virtual folder names.

I miss a way to get the real names list for selected files.

For now, i use a script in VP to extract the names into some specific tempo lists but i cannot use easily the same buttons/shortcut for both selected files in a folder and the one i get from virtual panel...
/// I use a lot user command with %L...

Could it be possible to have a kind of prefix like %Z that allows to have name inside archive..

%! could force having real filename path for selection made in virtual panel, this should affect all the %S, %L.... (it make so sens to get only names as we do not have any base folder)

You don't miss that way, it simply doesn't exist. This was mentioned here years ago, and idea for %v and %V was completely different: I've suggested to use %v and %V for switching virtual/real names mode for all regular parameters like %N or %S.

I know about the discussion, i did asked in 2009 for %L,%S,..., the response from ghisler (Author) was I will try.

The switch idea was great ! but was not implemented as expected :(
