Copy full path as text does not work while browsing flat

#1 Post by nsaxiom » 13.07.2011, 18:18

Freecommander version 2009.02b
OS XP SP3
Copy full path as text does not work while browsing flat.
However Copy full name as text does, as does Copy name as text.

It appears Copy full path as text is just pulling the path from the address bar.

I flattened my C:\ drive, then tried selecting files with different paths. "C:\" is copied to the clipboard every time.

I just tried again on completely different computer, Windows 7 Professional, 2009.02b portable.

Again, copy full name as text worked properly, copy full path as text does not. Same behavior as original post.

Flat view

Copy full path as ... -> copies the path from the address bar (flattened folder), not the actual folder path where the selected file is.

So is this an error or is this how it should work? I would think more value would be obtained by copying the actual folder path of the selected file, isn't that the intention?

If not, what is the purpose of copying the path on the address bar when a file with a different folder path is selected, when a user can always copy the address bar path at any time from the address bar?

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but it doesn't seem right to me.

As a workaround flatten the directory you want, select the file you need, deflate the view, copy the path (the file remains selected). It is time consuming, though.

I can confirm this behaviour in v 2009.02b Build 418 and in v XE Build 545.

In flat view "copy full path as text" doesn't copy the ecpected path while "copy full name as text" does.
It doesn't matter if it's a drive or a normal folder.

I think this should be corrected, at least for FC XE.

Have problems with copy file names at Cyrillic:
Cyrillic symbols doesn't encode right. For example standart russian named My Document folder - "Мои Документы".
If i try copy full name as text (Alt+Ins) C:\Documents and Settings\user\Ìîè äîêóìåíòû\desktop.ini
Copy name as text (Shift+Alt+Ins) desktop.ini (if Cyrillic file name - 121_Äåì÷óê ÊÀÑÊÎ Ëèïåíü.xls)
Copy path as text (Ctrl+Alt+Ins) - C:\Documents and Settings\user\Мои документы

So right encoding only for path as text, can you fix another two: name as text and full path?
Thank you.
