How could I make a file list of files in the bin?

When I try to make a list of these files - http://i.imgur.com/UBfTIRf.png
by clicking that item - http://i.imgur.com/YQSwDjd.png
the list looks like that:

How could I copy the real file names?

You're right, but I don't know exactly why it happens. All I know is that Recycle Bin is not a standard folder and it doesn't hold the deleted files themselves.

But the option Folder->Make folder/file list... copies the names just fine. The thing is... I don't remember when this option was introduced (build 687 ?), so it might not be available in your XE build.

P.S. I don't know how to achieve this in Explorer, if anyone knows a trick...

Confirmed in FC XE 693.

But FC XE shows and copies everything as it should be - real file name is copied. You can open I:\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-2049120718-2092439495-3515593640-1000\ to make sure that these names are real. All info about names of files that they had before deleting are stored in file "Info2" (it has attributes Archive, Hidden, System, Read only and has no extension). And you can see it only if you open I:\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-2049120718-2092439495-3515593640-1000\ and you could not see it if you just open Recycle Bin.

All info for analyzing that file could be found here:

!! Note that Location of deleted files for each OS is different !!!

Thank you, joby_toss.

Ah, so, in newer version than mine there is an option to create a file list.

Thanks for the link. At that place it looks like that: http://i.imgur.com/IehClOt.png

Strange, if I remember it right, I have tried it a few days ago to make a list like described of the items in the bin and it has worked. I have done it the same way.

All info about how information from that file could be analyzed is here https://www.raymond.cc/blog/what-is-inf ... er-folder/

Thank you for the link. So at them moment there does not appear to be a way to copy the file names to a list.

Many thanks again.

I found the way how real names could be copied from Recycle Bin! But only names without path.

Just open Recycle Bin and select Edit - Save selection. But you have to select different location (by default suggestion is to create file in I:\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-2049120718-2092439495-3515593640-1000\ (for example, navigate to C:\Test\bin.txt) and you'll see real names in a file!

But it is a workaround

You could use Edit -> Copy details to clipboard.

Thank you, Timon.

Yes, that would make it, I do not need / want the paths, just the names.

Yes, that works, the file names are copied to a file called (or whatever you want): "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}.sel"

Thank you, Marek,

Yes, great, that works. But how could I get rid of the text other than the file names?

Many thanks again.

Simply define column profile with only one column and use it for your job.

Yes, that works, fine.

Many thanks, Marek

You could use Edit -> Copy details to clipboard.

It works only in Details view! In List view it is impossible to use. IMHO it's a bug. Try to copy some text to clipboard (for example, 12345) and after that try to open Recycle Bin in List view, select all files and use Edit -> Copy details to clipboard. You'll paste 12345.

It works only in Details view!

Yes, as described in the help file: http://www.freecommander.com/fchelpxe/e ... board.html

In such a case it should be disabled (greyed out) for all other types of views except Details. Or there should be hint - only for Details view.

FC XE 2016 710 donor 32-bit

Start FC XE. NC mode is used, List view.
Go to 'Edit'. 'Copy details to clipboard' is disabled (greyed out).

Now select several files/folders you want.
Go to 'Edit'. 'Copy details to clipboard' is ENABLED, you even can click it with mouse, but it doesn't work, because it should work only in Details view

as described in the help file: http://www.freecommander.com/fchelpxe/e ... board.html

That menu item should work ONLY in Details view. In all other Views it should always be disabled.

Fixed in FC XE 715 public/716 donor.
'Copy details to clipboard' works only in Details view.
Thanks.
