Ninotech copy path

Post by sethr »

I recently was forced to buy a new system by a hardware failure, and am running W7, 64bit.  Ninotech Copy Path was very useful to me previously.  The program will not run on my new system, and their website apparently does not exist now, although there are several freeware sites where it can be downloaded.  Does anyone know of a similar program that runs on the newer OS?

What, <ALT> C in x2 isn't sufficient?

If you must have it in the context menu, this will work under x64.

No, actually I need to copy the filename easily, without the path.  Sorry for being less than clear.

If you are in list mode, select the file and hit Ctrl+P

Also, see page 274 of the PDF manual for a list of <~><~>C or <~><~>P name copying shortcuts.

Not sure if the context menu extension I mentioned above has that particular function or not, but this one will (and is x64 compatible).

FileMenu Tools has context menu commands to copy either file names or full paths of selected files to the clipboard.

Slightly off topic, but I just spent some time playing with FileMenu Tools, and it has apparently (in recent updates) much improved its x64 compatibility - it was always dodgy before which is why I couldn't recommend it.

Thanks for the reminder, as it's an excellent (and stable) little extension tool now.

Thank you all, especially FrizzleFry.  I appreciate having that functionality back.

Use Win+V to paste *anywhere* your xplorer2 active path

This Autohotkey script will do the job (install autohotkey first, save the file below as an .ahk file and double click it)

---file start---

#SingleInstance,Force
#Persistent
#NoTrayIcon

#v::
;xplorer2
IfNotExist, %ActualDirectory%
ControlGetText, ActualDirectory, Edit1, ahk_class ATL:ExplorerFrame
;Explorer
IfNotExist, %ActualDirectory%
ControlGetText, ActualDirectory, Edit1, ahk_class ExploreWClass
IfExist, %ActualDirectory%
SendInPut %ActualDirectory%\
ActualDirectory = ""
return

---file end---

:D Nils
