Could be possible to add the option to choose that 'Copy Directory to Clipboard' option will copy only the folders names instead all the info?... for example, instead copying something like this:



dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Feb 13 2001 bussys
dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 May 21 2001 deskapps
dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Apr 20 2001 developr
-r-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Nov 27 2000 dirmap.htm
dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Feb 25 2000 kbhelp
dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Sep 28 2001 misc
dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Feb 25 2000 peropsys
dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Jan 2 2001 products
dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Sep 21 2000 reskit
dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Feb 25 2000 services
dr-xr-xr-x 1 owner group 0 Feb 25 2000 softlib




that will copy only the folder names as:


bussys
deskapps
developr
kbhelp
misc
peropsys
products
reskit
services
softlib





Maybe it could be a suggestion from a lazy person :) but i think that can be useful to choose in 'Preferences' for example which method use to copy info into clipboard: 'Only the folder names' or 'All the info' (group, permissions, dates, sizes...).

just do raw list command that will show only dir names and no extra info and check "display results in edit window"

Would be better to have one click command to do it automatically :)

You could do:

CTRL+A
Tools -> Marked List -> Mark/Unmark
CTRL+SHIFT+E

This would be made easier if there was a shortcut key for mark/unmarking! :)

Just thought. Under Tools -> Mark List, perhaps you could "space" / "spacebar" / "<spacebar>" or something next to the option, as all of the others have things like Shift+Ctrl+S and Shift+Ctrl+C.

In one build I did that and thought it was a good idea, however
it caused serious problems as you can no longer enter a <space> anywhere, it captures it as the a shortcut. menu items have global shortcuts.
