Copying Path Format into new Path Format

Hi!

I'm trying to Copy & Paste a Path Format to a new Path Format in Preferences, like

However, I cannot paste the previously shared format into a Path Format. Each try results in creating a new Favorite Format.

Is there a trick how to copy an existing Folder Path to a new Folder Path?

We can probably make this easier to do/discover in the future.

Here is (I think) the quickest way to do it at the moment:

  • Create a new Path Format. Select the path it's for, and click OK.
  • Right-click the original path format, Copy.
  • Right-click the new path format, Paste.

That'll paste the settings from one into the other. (The path itself is left alone.)

Similar works with wildcard formats as well.

Ah thanks for this. Did already try a few other things, but not his way.

I got the impression that copying and pasting into the appropriate section will select the correct format itself and ask for missing parameters if necessary, like for example a regular expression if copying a wildcard format.

Thanks Leo!
