[Solved] Copy hot item's full path to clipboard shortcut copies as unquoted

Post by aviasd »

Hi
When assigning a shortcut to Result list | Hot Item | Copy full path to clipboard:
1. Pressing the shortcut will copy the path without quotes while the equivalent context menu item copies with quotes.
2. Pressing the shortcut while on a folder will not copy anything to the clipboard, while the equivalent context menu item will. - It does work, but if the UI is updating result lists while I press the shortcut - I.E: while on dm:1m it is not caught on first attempt ( for folder or file )
- Sorry about that - didn't realize hot item was following the mouse and not the currently selected item :oops:
Tested on: Everything-1.5.0.1254a
Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback aviasd,

To copy paths with double quotes:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Cilck the Results tab on the left.
  • Check Double quote copy as path.
  • Click OK.

There is separate commands for selected and hot (mouseover).

I have added a couple new commands for the next alpha update:
A copy path with quotes command.
A copy full path and filename with quotes command.

I have on my TODO list to add the option to choose copy as path with quotes in the Context menu options.

Yep, it was selected here, although it does not affect - Result list | Hot Item | Copy full path to clipboard - those are still copied without quotes.

I never noticed the hot item actions before, it's really nice..

Thank you for the bug report aviasd,

Could you please try the latest Everything 1.5 Alpha.

Everything 1.5.0.1255a fixes an issue with Result list | Hot Item | Copy full path to clipboard and Result list | Hot Item | Copy path clipboard ignoring your double quote copy as path setting.

I have also added some commands under Tools -> Options -> Keyboard to copy paths with double quotes.
