Copy Full Path (+Properties multi-select)

Post by meteorquake »

I've added the copy full path as a button but I think it should be there more readily for general users, as I couldn't spot it; for example -

* File Properties you have only Path and Name separately which is cumbersome, I think Full Path should be added also for easy copying

* Right-clicking a tab has just one menu item, Close - I think there is space for some more items, such as Copy Full Path (a bit like Sumatra has), this matches the fact that hovering over the tab also gives the path as a non-copyable cue

* Under File menu there could be "Copy Full Path"

* I think for the Properties dialog it would be helpful to multi-select entries for the right-click to process (this would help with copying)

That's funny, it is there isn't it! I just didn't spot it, in my mind that entry was copying some of the image to clipboard, probably because it's under the Edit menu not the File menu. The choice of what menu an item falls under certainly influences its interpretation...

I guess that raises the question of whether that menu should be under File, since it involves whole-file actions. I think then some of the other comments I originally made do still remain pertinent.
