Is Your Enhancement Related to a Problem?

Currently I organize 20 - 30 preset for single videos, by browsing through the tens of thousands of preset.
Whenever I see a great one during playback, I lock it, have to write its name manually from the top window header into the notpad application.

Your Suggested Enhancement

Currently I organize 20 - 30 presets for single videos, by browsing through the tens of thousands of preset.

Whenever I see a great one, I have to write its name manually from the top window header into the notpad application.

Please implement to copy the

  • the name
  • or even better: the milk file itself
    to the clipboard, so the user just have to use Ctrl+V to paste it into a sorting folder in the File Manager app.

Of course a better preset managemnet with preset previews, etc would be better, but just for sorting this could be an enourmous helper.

Definitely easy to implement. I'd add this as a menu item, and possibly use the ctrl-c shortcut as well to put the full preset path into the clipboard. I guess it depends on how the OS handles the actual clipboard data in regards to file management (e.g. setting some kind of content type hint, like the CF_HDROP format in the Win32 API), as we can currently only set plain text content in a cross-platform way via SDL2. More sophisticated clipboard functionality would require manually implementing the code for each target platform, as Windows, macOS and Linux have totally different APIs and clipboard functionality.

Thanks. Just to keep it simple, I think just the preset filename copy to the clipboard is sufficient.
The user should use the OS-based search functionality to find and copy/paste the .milk file itself.
On Windows I disabled the Windows search service and use the third party app Listary exculsively which finds anything anywhere in the file system instantly.
