I'm confused... there is already a context menu item "Copy" that does this?

"Copy" copies the file or folder. This action only copies the entire path to file (or folder) into the clipboard, like "/path/to/this/file". You must install 'xclip' to use this action.

On Nemo 5.2.4 on Mint 20.3 Cinnamon it also copies the path(s) of the selected file(s), which is pasted when you paste in a text field. Doesn't this work for you? Maybe it's not the same in all versions.

You're right, even with Nemo 6.2.8 on Cinnamon 6.2.9 (LM22).

Never mind, apparently I'm kind of blind. I saw now the instructions in the main Actions page.

It would be nice if there were instructions to install it available. Thanks in advance

i downloaded and add this action but it does not appear in the context menu. Will post back here if I can figure out why. It is present under Layout, so not sure why.

You must select a folder or file by right-clicking on it for this action to appear in the context menu.

Not sure what you mean. How can I right click on a file or folder to show the context menu but also not select that file? Steps to reproduce 1. open Actions 2. Download 3. Choose Copy Path to Clipboard, now it has a tick next to it 4. Layout, confirm the new Copy path to clipboard option is present 5. right click a file or folder and the option is not there.

fixed - it depends on xclip, but this is not installed automatically when downloading the action.
