"Copy path" from BC without final backslash

Post by Marco »

I think that, for the sake of consistency, a path copied with the "Copy path" command in the right click menu of the BC shouldn't have the final backslash - like the path you see in the AB, the path you can copy via "Copy path" in the AB right click menu, and the path you can copy via the "Copy location term" (albeit not exactly a path) in a tab right click menu.

There are other places where the path is copied with final backslash, e.g. Ctrl+P in Tree, or right-click menu "Copy Path" in Tree.

And what's the rationale behind having some commands that return with an ending backslash and some which don't?

Uniformity is so boring, you bloody philistines. Well, okay, it's a nerd's world. So, gentlemen, we all agree to say farewell to the final backslash?

Well, the vision of uniformity I had in mind was:

I do.
But as I'm pretty confident about the XY community (and if I fail there's always an outer space), consideration of another tweak "CopyPathBackslashed= 0|1" might be appropriate. :whistle:

Well, XYplorer "dark knight" edition rocks anyway ...

Using a capital P would make you a native or inhabitant of ancient Philistia - you can't be that old? :whistle:

I'll look into this after the transformation to 64-bit.
