I have a script that used to copy the full path of a selected file. The script no longer works.

Adobe Bridge v 13.0.2.636

Script:

#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
bridgePath = new MenuElement("command", "Path to Clipboard", "at the end of Thumbnail");
}
bridgePath.onSelect = function () {
pathToClipboard();
}
function pathToClipboard(){
var sels = app.document.selections;
app.system("echo "+decodeURI(sels[0].spec.fsName) +"|clip");
}

Script location:

C:\Users\{me}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge 2023\Startup Scripts

Thanks!

This is only a valid script on Windows, the Mac uses the pasteboard. Use my script in the Utility Script Pack

I am unable to get copy full path with filename to work.

Does it work with the current version of Adobe Bridge? If yes, please give instructions on which files are needed and where to place them.

If you only need a script to copy the file path, try this modification of your origninal script. It should work on Bridge 13 and 14 on Windows.

#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
    bridgePath = new MenuElement("command", "Path to Clipboard", "at the end of Thumbnail");
    }

bridgePath.onSelect = function () {
    pathToClipboard();
    }

function pathToClipboard(){
        var sels = app.document.selections;
        app.document.copyTextToClipboard(sels[0].spec.fsName);
      //  Window.alert("File path copied to clipboard\n\n"+sels[0].spec.fsName)
    }
