Copy Full File Name

Post by v5srv »

In the editor the "Copy Full File Name" functionality (right click on file tab) does not operate as the previous viewer or indeed as intended. It now appears to copy the file to the clipboard rather than the fully qualified file name.

Anybody else with the same issue?

Hi v5srv,

Thanks for the post, however, I'm not sure that I fully understand. This is working the same as the Viewer did (which is as expected), for me. Are you seeing something different?

Cheers,
If posting files to this forum, you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded.
Thank you.

Best regards

Used it frequently before. Copied a text string to the clipboard. Now when I do this and paste (for example in Outlook) I get the actual file as an attachment??

BTW: Version 5.5 Build 311.0

Between the Editor and Viewer, there was a difference in which file name is copied to the clipboard when file was opened from URL (or in browser, for example) - original URL or temporary file name.
Build 312 of the Editor has the same behavior now as the Viewer.

When Editor copies full file name to the clipboard, it puts there the information in different formats: the file name is text, and file name is special format to let applications understand that it is a file name, not just text.
In outlook, when you paste, you can choose what should be paste from the clipboard - please use context menu:

When attaching files to any message - please ensure they are archived and posted as a .ZIP, .RAR or .7z format - or they will not be posted - thanks.

Thanks for the reply but that is not what is happening.

When I paste (Ctrl-V), for example in outlook, I get the actual PDF file pasted as an attachment. Not text of any description, special frmat or otherwise.

I have just used the context menu and can get the text by choosing the "A" (Keep text only) option. So this acheives what I require but not quite as conveniently (for ease I tend to Ctrl X, C, V when cut, copy, paste).

The Viewer never worked in this fashion (well mine didn't anyway).

Hi v5srv,

well it seems that you have what you need. The context past is working and as Ivan mentioned:
Build 312 of the Editor has the same behavior now as the Viewer.
So I think that's what you are looking for. Yes?
