Search then copy paths problem

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.

Which value does the entry AutoRichFileOps in the section [Settings] in your XYplorer.ini file has?

It is set to 1 = shall I set it to 2

I prefer not to have the behaviour because it is un-intuitive.

Then set it to 2 while XY is not running

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

That is the ini in User/AppData/Roaming...

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
