autofill in 'jump to path...' [Ctr+J] option

Postby Dragster » Thu Sep 17, 2020 3:27 pm

I use XYexplorer. And its always a struggle to get BRU in the contextmenu to open at active location.
Most of the time it doesnt work out. And its an action often used.

Now most file explorers have a hotkey or button to copy 'Path' to clipboard..

So when using the action 'jump to path...' or 'Ctr+J' it would be nice that BRU automatically pasts in the last entry from clipboard.
Better jet maybe use it to create a button.
I mean, its logical to use this option right after you have copied the 'Path'.

(Just my opinion...

A download manager, & it finds a URL in the clipboard, yeah, I can see a benefit to it autofill that by default.

Here (& I never really realized Ctrl+J even existed), Ctrl+J & Shift+INS (or Ctrl+J Ctrl+V), two keystrokes in total...

But then I almost never use "paths", or directory trees, in BRU, rather, most often, drag & drop.


Plus... given that you're the Dragster, you should be drag&drop'n too ;-).)

Im not like this, because people copy many things that are not 'Path' so if we [Ctrt+J] it can signal the error. Also the XYExplorer can let you save scripts like "Bulk Rename Utility.exe" "<curpath>" so then Bulk Rename Utility opens path without the [Ctrl-J].

Does XYexplorer support the 'Bulk Rename Here' shortcut for the right-click menu? With the latest version that should work?

It has worked edtions ago, but at certain point it became an issue.
And I gave up at one point.

Damned. It works. Also, I activated the option: show 64-bit context menu

The context menu now shows: 'Bulk rename Here'

Thx :D
