Problem adding file to clipboard

Help & Support
1

I tried to add files to the clipboard using the commnad function as below:
Clipboard ADD/S

But DO said the operation is not supported by this VFS.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Clipboard ADD isn't for copying filenames to the clipboard, it's for copying the files themselves via the clipboard. It's like pressing Ctrl-C with a file selected, except that it adds the selected item(s) to whatever is already on the clipboard.

To copy filenames to the clipboard, see the FAQ on HOW TO: Copy selected filenames to the clipboard.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.

Actually, my intention was not to copy filenames. I was trying to copy & add several files from different sources (folders) to the clipboard and then paste them all into one particular folder at one go. I wonder if there's a way to do this in DO?

You need to also add the COPY argument to your button command.

Clipboard COPY ADD

Also in your original button you don't actually include the /S that's just an indicator in help (and in the button command dialog boxes) to show you what kind of an argument you're using.
