Relative path (copy) similar to CTRL-P for absolute path

[gtm]

It would be nice to have a CTRL+* where * is some other letter, that would copy to the clipboard the path relative to another path (assuming its on the same drive) that can be set. By default this can be the XYplorer.exe file.

This helps in filling the portable file associations for other portable apps.
And numerous other uses

Got a similar requirement and found this post.

Basically had to write a batch file to copy/move/delete some files that use relative paths.

Along with the many other "To clipboard" menu, if another option there to copy relative path from say a drop box of all parent directories would be helpful.

If any other method already there in XYPlorer, please let me know.

Just to make it clear a small eg.

d:\temp\test1.txt
d:\temp\test2.txt

Right click both files "To Clipboard" => Relative Path => A dialog like popup giving the the full parent tree, so the user can select either D: or "temp".

Say user selected temp, clipboard contents:

temp\test1.txt
temp\test2.txt

Thanks,

Hmm, not really convinced (both posts). Both can be achieved relatively easy by scripting.

resolvepath() in "inverse" mode is the way.

Scripting solution now available!

Spent a little too long on that this morning!

Thanks, TheQwerty.
Can you please put a readme. I see lot of downloads on it and I am sure more will in future. So one readme will help so many users.

What do you think should be said which isn't?
