I'd love for you to add advanced pasting in the next version. Thanks
This idea I got from www.extrabit.com

Copy filename without extension

Copy Filename And Delete | Copies the name of the selected item, and then deletes the item. It only appears if a single file or folder is selected. This command can be used with the Paste Filename command to quickly replace one file with another.

Paste Filename | Renames the selected item with the text on the clipboard. This command only appears if a single file or folder is selected, and in addition will only appear if the clipboard contains text that is a valid filename.

Paste Filename (Not Ext.) | Renames the selected item with the text on the clipboard, but without changing the extension of the selected item. If the text on the clipboard has an extension, this is ignored.

@clechasseur commented on GitHub (Dec 26, 2024):

This has been requested before: #67 . That request also mentions ExtraBit.

As I've mentioned in that other issue, I'm not sure I want to include pasting into the core Path Copy Copy product. I kind of see the point about deleting afterwards.

Also, ExtraBit seems to have tools to deal with this already (Paste filename).

I'll keep this open to track the ability to delete a file after copying the filename.
