Copy as path puts last file first in a pasted list
-
I was wondering why (and how to not have this happen) Notepad++ puts the last file in a Copy as path first when you past in a list of files from a Windows Explorer.
Eaxmple:
File 1
File 2
File 3If I select all of the files, 1-3, and holding the shift key choose Copy as path and then past them into Notepad++ it will past them as follows:
File 3
File 1
File 2Is there any way for this NOT to happen? Or a setting that can stop this?

You’ve named the culprit.
In case you don’t understand: Explorer puts the stuff in the clipboard.Pasting into Notepad++ has nothing to do with Notepad++. It just blindly receives whatever is there.
You can always sort the lines in Notepad++ after the paste, but depending upon what you are doing, the sort may not give you the ordering you seek either.

Not really.
Nope, not a Notepad++ setting. -
Try to select all files in reverse order. For example, if I want to get the files ordered as 1-3, I select first the 3, then the 2 and finally the 1. These will be copied in Notepad++ in order 1-3.
Tested and worked in my Windows 7.
Take care.
