Copy filenames to the Windows clipboard.
I needed to quickly transfer ~10 folder names to Notepad and didn't see a way to do it (there isn't)
Here is what I found (Free)
CopyFilenames - Copy filenames to the Windows clipboard:

CopyFilenames features

    * Copies one or many file or folder names as text to the Windows clipboard
    * Option to add file size
    * Option to add file date/time
    * Option to add full path to file
    * Option to double up back-slashes, or use forward slashes, if full path added
    * Option to quote filenames with single or double quotes
    * Option to separate multiple filenames with newline, space, tab or comma
    * Command to rename a file with text from clipboard (Paste Filename)
    * Command to copy filename and delete file in a single operation

##
Also,


Replacing one file with another

In addition to being able to copy filenames, this utility also adds two other commands which appear when appropriate. These commands can be used to replace one file with another. This is invaluable in the situation where you have two files in a folder, and you want to delete one, and rename the other to the name of the file that was deleted.

Using Windows commands  (9 Steps)

    * Select the file to delete
    * File > Rename
    * CTRL+C
    * ESC
    * File > Delete
    * Select the other file
    * File > Rename
    * CTRL+V
    * Return.

Using CopyFilenames   (4 Steps)

    * Right click the file to delete
    * Copy Filename and Delete
    * Right click the other file
    * Paste Filename

RE: Copy filenames to the Windows clipboard.
First one, I just do:

Batch Script
dir /b >Z:\list.txt

Or whatever I want.

Second, I do it manually, though I could write a Directory Opus script attached to a shortcut if I found it that necessary.
F2
Ctrl+C
Esc
Shift+Del
Down
F2
Ctrl+V
Enter

Doesn't take that long really...


But thanks for the tip anyway - I'm sure it's useful to someone Smile


BTW, Directory Opus is pretty cool, but unfortunately, not "free".
