Copy Target Addresses - Place the Filenames of the Targets of Selected Items into the Clipboard (Dereference Shortcuts).

| This section discusses the Copy Target Addresses functionality of the Locator module. |
|
The Copy Target Addresses functionality of the Locator module is used to copy the paths of the targets of the selected items. For files and folders,
the target of a selected item is the item itself. For selected shortcuts, the target is the file or folder which it points to. Thus, the Copy Target
Addresses functionality copies the dereferenced full filenames of the selected items. To copy the full filenames of the selected items without
dereferencing them, use the Copy Selection Addresses functionality. There are cases when we want to copy the
full filename of one or more files or folders. This is not difficult; however it is a time-consuming procedure. The Copy Target Addresses functionality
makes this quick and easy.

items and choose the Copy Target Addresses entry in the Locator submenu from the Act On File entries. The dereferenced full filenames (including paths) of the
selected items are now copied to the clipboard as text. The filenames are separated with a separator which is defined in the properties dialog.
