Add a "Copy full file path" to the right click menu. I use XnView as my photo organizer. I might be looking for a photo to attach to an email or upload to social media. It would be very convenient to have the full path copied to the clipboard. Picasa had this feature and I used it a lot.

Could the right-click menu be changed from "copy" to "copy full path"?
I have wanted this feature for a long time, and finally came in here to make the suggestion. Literally every other program I have uses "copy" to mean "copy object". So it was never going to occur to me that "copy" here is implemented differently. Thank you for any consideration.

that what @appyface say: Please rename "Copy" to "Copy full path" if it just copy the path and not the object.

you can add desired copy command to the context menu via Settings > Context menu
unfortunately, the default Copy command has non-standard behavior:
Copying part of image is buggy

The point of my suggestion, the right-click menu has only ever said "copy", which to me always means "copy object". I think I'm not alone there.
I always wanted "copy path" but (based on wording) it seemed XnView didn't have it. Yet it was there all along! I just didn't have a way to know it except by accidental discovery. Just a simple wording change would be more transparent IMO. I hope it will get considered.
