Add an "advanced" mode to custom commands in the Settings application that would give full control over the command's pipeline elements.

I'm using zulip/zulip a lot which supports markdown and their desktop app can open file:/// paths.
I would love to have something like a context menu entry Copy Path Zulip Markdown or just Copy Path Markdown
it would then take the last folder name or the file name and create his

[Office](file:///C:\Program Files\Office)
[winword.exe](file:///C:\Program Files\Office\winword.exe)
This would result in a clickable link for the recipient. Very useful in a local network where everyone sends links around to a network share.

@vbNETonIce You can do that with a custom command. Base it on "Copy Long Path", and in the Find/Replace options, select "Use regular expressions" and enter:

Find what: ^(.*)\\([^\\]+)$
Replace with: [$2](file:///$1\$2)

Thanks for the reply. I'll try that! Is there a way of applying this custom setting to 50+ PC via group policy or copying a settings file. in short: After I add this custom setting where does PathCopyCopy save it?

It's saved in the registry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\clechasseur\PathCopyCopy\PipelinePlugins, but it's identified via a GUID. One thing you can try is to open the Settings app and choose "Export settings", which will export all your settings in a .reg file. Trim it down using a text editor to keep only your plugin and I guess you could apply that across a network by importing the registry file - I'm no expert with group policies but I'm sure there's a way.

one word: sweet! I do a lot of registry modifications via group policy so this should work. Will let you know about the outcome.

ok, worked fine. Things to remember for whoever wants to try it.

create all three registry entries
set the (default) key as default (or standard as in the screenshot). If you forget PCC will report an error as the GPO create two default entries

I still have a question though: The new custom command can be found in the path copy copy settings but it's not checked as Main. Where is that setting saved?

This works great. Thanks for your help. But I assume the GUID will be different for other people.

The GUIDs of built-in commands (as they appear in MainMenuDisplayOrder) will be the same for everyone. However, the GUID of the custom command will be different, yes.

In hindsight, this issue's original intent seems to complex for little gain. I'll close this for now.

Thought about this some more today and it would indeed be helpful, even if only for fringe cases. Reopening.
