I do a search for jpg files in a complex directory structure.
I find 12,000 files
When I try to copy those files from the search results window the copy / paste ALWAYS copies the entire path for every file.
How do I simply copy all the jpg that was found into a single directory WITHOUT their paths.
Is this a bug when copying from a search results window?
Alternatively - I need a script to run though the search results and copy them one by one - I simply don't know how to write such a script.

Re: Search then copy paths problem
It is set to 1 = shall I set it to 2
I prefer not to have the behaviour because it is un-intuitive.

I made it 2 and restared the app. The results are the same.

That is the ini in User/AppData/Roaming...
Re: Search then copy paths problem
Execute this from the address bar and show the output:
echo getkey("AutoRichFileOps", "Settings");

Okay, I see it overwrites the ini on exit if saved - I will test again
