Is there a way to copy just the file names?

Post by JGreg7 »

I am new to the later versions of XYPlorer, the last I had was version 8. I now have a license for the latest version.
:?: :?:
I need to be able to highlight a group of files, and copy just the filenames. I found the "copy as path" feature, however that does not give me what I need. I need just the filename.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right click on the selected files, context menu -> To Clipboard -> Item Name(s)

Aka Ctrl+Shift+P.

Thank you both for your responses.

The Ctrl+Shift+P works great.
My context menu does not have the "context menu -> To Clipboard -> Item Name(s)". Is there a way to add it?

Sure is: Tools | Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Context Menus | Custom items
in shell context menu | File List.

Make sure to check 'To Clipboard'.

Ok, Found it, it was already checked. I did not see it the first time since I had the 64-bit menu checked, and it does not appear in that one. Since I unchecked the 64-bit context menu it shows up and works perfectly.

It would be nice to be able to get the features from both menus in one. Next version maybe...

Thank you for your help. :biggrin:

The normal right click menu should display the entry "Show 64-bit Context Menu"...
