Copy paths, and better path defaults on save as and export dialog boxes.

Copy paths, and better path defaults on save as and export dialog boxes.

Feature Request:   Ability to copy  the path on save as and export dialog boxes.

Normally, when I save a file in a location, I also want to export it to that same path, and the import that export into another software (unreal, cura, etc...).

I have to folder dive to the same location drive location multiple times.  (because the path at the top is a "history" that is not copyable.

It would be nice if... like windows explorer, or like a web browser... the save as/export dialogs allowed copy and pasting of "the path".

Additionally...
if you save a file somewhere...

export should default to that same location.

Because of this... whenever I save/export files... I tend to just fire up a windows explorer window, go to the path I want... copy the path... then save my max file (pasted path), export my max file (pasted path), import file to another program (pasted path).

Path manipulation like this should be doable inside of max.

This little app helps.

Not only in max... but ANY app.

Windows 11 support is a little off.
