copy full path (file) name using forward slash better than back slash

Post by lucky »

When copy full filename,I got something like "c:\dir\abc.txt" in clipboard
This is windows only path style,some of my cli tools prefers unix path style like "c:/dir/abc.txt"
eg.cygwin and tools in it
so,I thouht,Is it possible to change it,may be an option in config editor,something like that?thanks

I have added to my TODO list to add an ini option to convert backslashes slashes to forward slashes.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Everything 1.5.0.1276a adds a Copy Full Path With Forward Slashes command.

To set a keyboard shortcut to this new command:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Keyboard tab on the left.
  • To the right of show commands containing, type in:
    copy
  • Select File | Copy Full Path With Forward Slashes.
  • Click Add....
  • Press a new keyboard shortcut, for example: Alt + C
  • Click OK.
  • Click OK.

How about adding this function to context menu for easier use, or is there any way to add context menu by modifying the Registry?

In Everything 1.5 alpha, you can set a keyboard shortcut for that.
(Not sure if that is also there in 1.4 or not?)
