Request: Remove "Copy pathname" and replace it with...

What's the difference between "Copy full path" & "Copy path"???

I just find that the "Copy full path" (in English) is a clearer distinctive name in this instance. In other instances the name "Copy path" would be just sufficient. At the end of the day, they both perform exactly the same function of copying the full path of the file - am I right?

What do you or anyone further think?

What's the difference between "Copy full path" & "Copy path"???

For me, "Path" means just drive+folders portion of the full file specification (w/o filename) and "Full path" means Path + long filename.

Hello,

Copy path = copy the address (full) file with no arguments, no less!

This would leave less doubt, however:
copy
copy Special

• Copy the image data
  Copy the file name-s
  Copy the file path-s ..................( Y is necessarily included the file name!)

Future Help / Support to be aware of the possibilities / limitations offered options "Copy Special".
How about using a shortcut and recommend the appropriate section of the Help

Fr:
Copier le chemin = copier l'adresse (complète) du fichier sans arguments, ni plus ni moins !
Ceci laisserait cependant moins de doute :
Copier
Copie spéciale

• Copier les données image
  Copier le nom du fichier-s
  Copier le chemin du fichier-s ..................(Y est forcément inclus le nom du fichier!)

La future Aide/Support permettant de prendre connaissance des possibilités/limites qu'offres les options de "Copie spéciale".
Et pourquoi pas une aide contextuel qui orienterait vers le chapitre adéquat de l'Aide !

'Copy' has the behavior of 'Copy full path'

[budz45]

Or you could just call it "Full path"

..So in my screenshot mock-up rename 'Copy full path' to simply just "Full path(s)"

Why to have 2 entries for the same thing??

[JohnFredC]

When using "Copy" in MP, the clipboard gets 4 items:

• Unformatted Text
  Device Independent Bitmap
  Unformatted UNICODE Text
  File

For pasting into Outlook, one must choose (via "Paste Special") one of the above. (Outlook Paste defaults to "File", which means an attachment is automatically appended, not always what the user wants).

Having separate options is for those of us who anticipate the behavior of other software and want to skip a few UI steps (after the copy and before the paste).

2 entries where? Do you mean that you plan to make 'Copy full path' (or whatever name) not be inside the 'copy to clipboard' sub-menu? Or do you mean something else?

Pierre,

for the current "select path(s)" and "select filename(s)" could you add the text suffix of "only" to both of them so that it's more clearer to the user.
