Copy the absolute filesystem paths of files and folders selected in File Explorer. Works for one item or a multi-select.

The stock multi-select menu only offers move, bookmark, and delete. This plugin adds Copy absolute paths to that menu and to the single-file menu.

Use

  • Select one or more items in Files, then right-click → Copy absolute path / Copy absolute paths.
  • Hotkey: Command-Option-C (macOS) / Ctrl-Alt-C (Windows/Linux).

Paths are one per line, using FileSystemAdapter.getFullPath. Desktop only.
