Very useful function for power users!

Navigate to any file in windows explorer, hold the left shift key and right click on that file, then click copy as path.

I didn't know about this til 2 minutes ago

and here I was typing in paths by hand...

But if you're already right clicking on that file in windows explorer doesn't that mean you are already there?

Yeah but when you need to paste the location into text fields that either lack a browse function or have a really crappy one, this is a lot better.

Ahh neat, I was just copying the filename and pasting it into the explorer address bar, then copying that, nice to know there is a better/faster way
