The copy path to clipboard function

It is a useful feature that I can right click and copy the entire or a partial path to the clipboard.

But, on network drives, I'd prefer it to copy the UNC path, "\\monster\data\source" instead of "F:\Source". My colleges may not have the drives mapped the same way.

Use CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT (See the Edit-menu for all options!)

Did it do that?

The functionality was already there, fine.

When "copy to clipboard" on network drives I still think it should copy the UNC path. That way there's no uncertainty.

Using the <shift+ctrl+insert> shortcut I may have discovered a minor flaw. If I select a path and click on a file or directory before pressing <shift+ctrl+insert>, the path and filename is correctly copied onto the clipboard. Now select another network path. Using <shift+ctrl+insert> again, the previous path is pasted until a file or directory is selected. More logically it should copy the path with the filename.

BTW. I was a Salamander fan even before they began writing it! Beat that! :D
