Branch-View / Paste file "here"

[MBaas]

I'm starting to work in BranchView ;-)

Something I am missing is the ability to copy/move a file via clipboard to another dir in BV (I mainly use the Detail-View in the List). So I'm dreaming of an item in any file's context-menu which would paste the current file in clipboard into the dir of the currently focussed item (whose contextmenu I opened). Or am I perhaps missing another way to do that?

Don't understand this.
You mean you press CTRL+X to cut the item, CTRL+C to copy the item, and then press CTRL+V at the target to paste it?

See screenshot - after Ctrl-C or X I'd like to right-click one of the paths and paste the file there. (I could do "Goto focused item in new tab", then paste there and close the tab - but that's too many clicks for something that could be made simpler )

ah, ok, now I think I got it.
What view is this? search? paperfolder?
I think you have to copy/cut, select the target, and use a script then. But not sure. I'll try this...

If you use a Branch View that shows folders and files (you are currently using one that shows only files) you could simply drag the item onto the folder.

Create a UDC | Run Script.

Code: Select all

caption: Paste to selected item's location
 script: ::pasteto gpc(<curitem>, 'path');

Assign a suitable shortcut. Now select a $file, run the script, items in clipboard are pasted to $file's path, honoring copy or cut state.

Add the script as a global PFA item (::#604;), then you'll get a context menu item via Open With... .

Code: Select all

|"Paste to selected item's location"*>::pasteto gpc(<pfaitem>, 'path');

Cool, thanks to both of you! Both approaches sound good, will use both ;-)
