I can use it to copy paths of multiple files in TC, however the problem arises after using search function and the result is feed to the listbox. CopyPath copy only the last path of the selected files. So I have to copy each path separately or use search option in the Windows explorer
I don't know what CopyPath does, but guessing from the name...
Do you know about the following commands:
cm_CopyNamesToClip=2017;Copy filenames to clipboard
cm_CopyFullNamesToClip=2018;Copy names with full path
cm_CopyNetNamesToClip=2021;Copy names with UNC path
cm_CopySrcPathToClip=2029;Copy source path to clipboard
cm_CopyTrgPathToClip=2030;Copy target path to clipboard
You can add them to your menu, or download some of the extended menus from this forum (use Search link).
I encountered the same problem as describd in tne first post. When i press Ctrl+C to copy selected files to clipboard file under cursor only copied. I cannot use cm_Copyxxx commands because i need to paste files themself to another application (not a filenames).
Well I looked up the program you are using (Ninotech Path Copy), it does exactly what you scribed in the first post: copy the path and file names to the clipboard and NOT the file itself. So I dont understand your last post. Ctrl C has nothing to do with either Path Copy, nor TC, it is a Windows feature.
I switched to Linux, bye and thanks for all the fish!

You are referring to the wrong person, the OP is [dusan], your reply is to [VadiMGP] hence out of context.

Erm, I guess you already know this, but what you describe shouldn't happen... here it works perfectly OK, unless your system is 16bit or you have remapped ctrl+C to something else, it should work.

No; I don't think so. You cannot Copy multiple files to clipboard after feed to listbox. More general: Windows shell functions don't work for a multiple selection after feed to listbox (file properties). From my point of view it's a bug. It works fine in branch view.

Seems to be a little inconsistency of TC. Oddly enough the problem occurs in the listbox containing a search result, but not in "Branch View (With Subdirs) Ctrl+B" which can contain files of multiple directories similar to the search listbox.
PS to Lefteous:
Sorry, I started my reply before I saw yours.

Yes, it seems to be bug in TC. Of course, in some cases Branch View give me a solution (with relative small number of files located on the same disk). The problem still with search across hundreds files on several disks. Welll, i hope in TC 6.0 it will be fixed.
It's impossible to copy more than one file/path in the search result, because the context menu functions only work with files in a certain base directory, not from multiple dirs.
Why it is impossible? I didn't find any restriction not in Platform SDK help nor in MSDN KB. Anyway, for all files always exist base folder - Desktop. Moreover, look at standard Explorer behaviour: after search it is possible to copy any number of files from search result window even when files located on different disks.
