Is there any way to obtain a delimiter-separated list of full target paths that were the result of the last copy or move drag operation with the mouse? Alternatively, is there any post operation hook into the copy/move operation (however it's configured) that will let one obtain this information and act on it, script-wise?
Here's the use case: I want to copy/move folders by dragging with the mouse, and then want my scripted hook to load the resulting target paths into the tree.
How to get the paths just copied/moved with mouse?

The roadmap lists Custom Event Actions as coming, though only after several other items. My guess would be that CEA could include this.Jerry wrote:Is there any way to obtain a delimiter-separated list of full target paths that were the result of the last copy or move drag operation with the mouse?

As for the current situation, copy and move actions are logged by the Action Log (Edit > Action Log). Unfortunately, I can't find any way to get to its contents directly from scripting nor is the corresponding file (action.dat in the Application Data Folder) user-readable.
