Options for Copying Filenames to Clipboard

These Settings Apply To Copying One Filename to the Clipboard

 

To copy the highlighted (current) filename to the clipboard:

F10to copy full path and name
Ctrl+Shift+F10to copy just the filename

Edit | Copy Filenames > from the main menu for more options.

 

Before and After Fields

Whatever is entered in these fields will be put before and after the copied filename.

 

Typically these fields would consist of quotes (the defalut), open and close brackets.

Any thing you can type, FileBoss will insert.

Advanced: Three escape sequence sequences can be entered for special charactes:  \r = carriage return (ASCII 13), \n = line feed (ASCII 10) and \t = tab (ASCII 9). Note: For compatilbility with other Windows programs, new lines should always be entered as \r\n. Only use\r or \n individually or in another order if you really know what you are doing.

These Settings Apply To Copying All Selected Filenames to the Clipboard
To copy all selected filenames to the clipboard:

Shift+F10to copy paths and names

Locations

There are four locations in the list of copied filenames where FileBoss can insert text:

Before FirstInserted before anything else is copied.

Before Each / After Each Inserted immediately before and after each name

After LastAppended at the very end of all the filenames

Characters

Typically these fields would consist of quotes, open and close brackets.

Any thing you can type, FileBoss will insert.

Advanced: Three escape sequence sequences can be entered for special charactes: \r = carriage return (ASCII 13), \n = line feed (ASCII 10) and \t = tab (ASCII 9). Note: For compatilbility with other Windows programs, new lines should always be entered as \r\n. Only use\r or \n individually or in another order if you really know what you are doing. (Entering \r\n is the same as checking the New Line box).

New Line

When checked will cause a new line to be generated. For example, when this box is checked for the After Each location every entry will appear on a new line. (This is the equivalent of entering \r\n (ASCII 13, ASCII 10) in the Characters field.)

Tab

When checked will cause a tab to be inserted. For example, when this box is checked for the After Each location every entry will be separated by a tab. (This is the equivalent of entering \t in the Characters field.)
