Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/clechasseur/pathcopycopy/issues/53

Sometimes I end up with filenames that look like "black%20&%20white" and it would be nice to change that to remove the html-specific character encoding. So here we'd just have "black & white". Is this doable?

There are online pages to do this. See: https://www.url-encode-decode.com/

Just so we're clear, you mean change them when copying the path, right? Wouldn't that produce a path to a non-existent file?

No word on this and I still don't get the point of copying the path to a non-existent file... closing this.

Closing is good. I thought I had a useful idea but in retrospect it's out-of scope.
