At present there is a "Preview" option when any file is selected in the file browser - I was wondering if would be possible to also add in a "get link" option alongside this?
It doesn't happen often (as most times we are inserting links into an editor so the URL is added for us) but occasionally we just need to get the URL of a given file, i.e. for use linking to elsewhere and at present we have just type in the path to the file ourselves then copy/paste that. I realise it might not be a major feature but hoped it would be simple and unobstrustive enough that it might be included in a future release?
So just another icon under the copy/paste/rename/preview ones we currently have in the righthand page which is the usual chainlink icon and when clicked on it copies the full path to the current file for us?

Hi Ryan
Thanks for this, just gave it a test drive for me, I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding or not but didn't seem to work for me. So I installed the BETA (then cleared browser and server cache) then went to Components>JCE Editor>JCE File Browser then browsed to a PDF document to test, on my Mac I hit CMD and clicked on the COPY icon in the right hand toolbar (underneath RENAME and above CUT) then CMD-V into my address bar to see what was pasted but it wasn't a URL, instead a previous piece of text I'd copied. I tried OPTION-click too.
Am I missing something? Using latest v or Chrome on OS Catalina

Hey Ryan
Just to confirm that I've tried that version now and works fine for me - so the functionality is great, thanks for that.
I do still wonder from a UX point of view that it's not entirely intuitive that this is what you would need to do to copy the URL and think that a separate icon might be a more obvious action to take and there seems to be room in that right hand bar? (Mockup attached)
Like I say, though, the functionality is there so that's the main thing.

A new icon is fine on large screens, but as things get smaller, there is a distinct lack of vertical space, and the current icons only just fit. Also, as the use case for the icon is a little limited, I think this can maybe work as an add-on function for an existing button, as it is now.

Yep, fair enough. If this makes it into the next release I'll be sure to let clients know that's what they can do.
