Copy Filenames to Clipboard

Available in both Explore Views and Virtual Folders

One filename or thousands

with or without the full path, can be copied to the Windows Clipboard.

All Selected Names or Just the Current Name

can be copied. So you don't have to stop selecting files for some other operation just to copy one filename to the clipboard

Just the Name or the Name and Path

can be copied using different command and hot-keys. So you could copy to the clipboard just the text FileBoss.exe or C:\Program Files\FileBoss\FileBoss.exe.

The Format of the Copied Text is Up to You

since you can specify what comes before and after each name or group of names (such as quote marks and line feeds). See Copying Filenames for more information about defining how names are copied to the clipboard.
