This is very useful! Allows quick two step copying of filepath within Dolphin. Also interacts with Klipper's clipboard actions if enabled.

I like it.

"right click , properties , location => double click copy path"

Not available here, the location is the parent folder.

the answer was for the previous comment that was asking for :

"if you need the URL of the CURRENT visible directory"

if you need the location of a file just drag and drop in a terminal

So, you don't like the license, but why do you persist, suggesting this service is without value?

Your way:
1. Open a terminal.
1a. Arrange terminal window and Dolphin so you can access the file for selection and drag.
2. Drag file to terminal window.
3. Select "Paste location" option from the popup dialog.
4. Select the location in terminal.
5. Copy the selected text. (May depend on user's clipboard settings.)

--OR--

1. Right-click on file in Dolphin.
2. Select "Copy full path" from service menu.

It's no contest.

Do you really refuse to acknowledge the utility of this service?

You still have to open the terminal view in Dolphin. Yes, using that does prevent step 1a (notice I did not make it step 2). I often have to paste filepaths into apps other than a terminal. Are you going to suggest that everyone be bound by the limits of *your* use patterns and imagination?

btw
why do you need to open a terminal when there an integrated terminal in dolphin :S

why do you need to select and copy the path from the terminal ? :S the most of cases you need the path of a file to paste in a terminal

as i said my comment was for the license. stop. and the sense of it : use gpl license instead of creative common cuz it's a software so with gpl if someone wants to modify the software it will be forced to release even the "code"
