Tiny tool script that takes the path from a LD or SV and puts it into the clipboard so you can paste it into another LD/SV or a bin, or into your CMS or an IM or whatever. I have a hard time selecting the path when it’s really long and doesn’t fit into the space provided by the UI; this helps.

This is great. I personally use Home – Shift+End to grab super long texts from textfields. This is great for selecting lines of code too. Unfortunately Fusion does not allow the alternative Crtl+Insert for copying and Shift+Insert for Paste. I’m left haded which makes me use it all the time. Maybe I can adjust it with the hotkeys…

The problem with selecting the path from the tool itself is that it takes the literal string out, which may have pathmapping. This script gets the ACTUAL path used by Fusion, so it more useful for email, IM, CMS, etc, but is still perfectly cool for LD’s/SV’s, since Fusion will convert it back to the pathmapping. You don’t want to send someone an IM like “Hey, check out Footage:\newstuff.exr” if they don’t know where “Footage” is pathmapped to.
