Clipboard 2 File

[rienvanham]

Dear all,

Perhaps a question that already has been asked but I can't find the answer in a quick way:

Is there a possibility to save the content of the clipboard to a file?

e.g.:
Select a piece of text in (whatever) and copy this to the clipboard (CTRL+C).
In another filemanager I do a paste (CTRL-V) to a folder and it creates a file for me with the content of the clipboard.

Can the same be done with TC? Now I paste the content in an editor and save it as a file. This can be done quicker.

Thanks in advance,

Greetings, Rien.

This is not implemented into TC, "we" often utilize NirSoft's nircmd (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html)


Example nircmd.exe commands:
clipboard addfile "c:\temp\clip1.txt" # add the content of the clipboard to a file. (text only)
clipboard writefile "c:\temp\clip2.txt" # write the content of the clipboard to a file. (text only)
clipboard writeufile "c:\temp\clip3.txt" # write the content of the clipboard to a Unicode file. (text only)
clipboard saveimage "c:\temp\clip01.png" # Save the current image in the clipboard into a file.
clipboard saveimage "c:\temp\clip01.gif"






My TC button(s):

Command: "D:\rive\path to\Tools\NirSoft\nircmd.exe
--or better--
Command: "%Commander_Path%\Tools\NirSoft\nircmd.exe

Parameters: clipboard saveimage ___~$currdate.ddMMyyyy$-~$currtime.HHmmss$_Clipboard.png
--or--
Parameters: clipboard writefile ___~$currdate.ddMMyyyy$-~$currtime.HHmmss$_Clipboard.TXT

Icon: WCMICONS.DLL
Tooltip: NirSofts NirCmd clipboard saveimage -or- writefile

(best use ISO-formated date: $currdate.yyyyMMdd$)

Creates
"___20180530-121120_Clipboard.png" file
(needs to have a picture in the clipboard!!!)
-or-
"___20180530-122228_Clipboard.TXT" file
(needs to have text in the clipboard!!!)
in current active folder.

Other tipp from Horst.Epp:

How do I move to the path of the clipboard?
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50065
cmd=nircmd.exe exec show %COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S /A /L="~$clipboard$

Try clipboard file system plugin e.g. this one http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/decClipboardFS.html

[rienvanham]

Sorry, that plugin is 32bit and I'm using the 64bit version of TC.

Thank you Stefan2. I will try this.

Hi Stephan2,

That does the job! Thanks a lot!
