Bug ID: 364609
Summary: copy location/path bar (feature request)
Product: krusader
Version: 2.4.0-beta3 "Single Step"
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: m...@fork.pl
Reporter: j22...@gmail.com
The tool "Copy current item to clipboard" copies the full path of a file to
clipboard, including the name of the file, for example:
"/home/user/data/pics/russia/day02/motherland.jpg"
It would be great to have an option like that but without the file name, for
example:
"/home/user/data/pics/russia/day02"
I would like to request something which should be extremely easy to implement.
In TotalCommander, I was used to copy the location (full path) of a directory
from the location/path bar. This is great for many occasions when you need to
go to a specific location (which you already have open in krusader) while using
another software. For example, you are working with many photos which you are
browsing within a krusader tab which shows the
"/home/user/data/pics/russia/day02" directory. You finish editing them and want
to send some of them by email. I open the email program and press "attach"
button, which opens always in Desktop folder, so every time I have to navigate
to "/home/user/data/pics/russia/day02" directory to actually select and attach
the pictures.
Another example: when you download a file or want to save a brand new file
which you just started, you press "save" (eg in your word processor) and when
the save dialog opens you have to, again, navigate until you see the directory
which in general I already have opened in Krusader.
It is possible to do in Krusader, but it's cumbersome because takes many
unnecessary steps:
- left-click into the location bar
- it does not automatically select the text, so you have to select it
- but when you press right-click to "copy", it deselects the text!!
So the only way to do it is
1- left-click into the location bar
2- CTRL-A to select all
3- CTRL-C to copy to clipboard
whereas it could be (as in TotalCommander)
1- left-click into the location bar (it auto-selects the text)
2- right-click to copy
I would simply right-click into the path bar, wait one second (then all the
text into the location bar gets selected, so I then copy with right-click or
CTRL+C
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. left-click into the location bar
2. select all text
3. CTRL+C to copy
Actual Results:
Copying the location bar takes step which are not intuitive (eg the selected
text is de-selected when right-clicking to copy)
Expected Results:
it would be great if the location could be copied to clipboard very easily. If
possible with a command like "Copy current item to clipboard" (which can be
placed as button in the Main Menu).
Otherwise it should be less cumbersome to copy with mouse or keyboard from the
location menu. One suggested way is the TotalCommander way:
1- click into the location bar and this automatically selects all the text of
the location bar (ie full path of the directory)
2- either CTRL-C or right-click to copy to clipboard
I have Linux Mint 17.3 KDE
