Display irods path for cut and paste in the browser #174

Open burnce opened 8 years ago

burnce commented 8 years ago

Hello,

We have been using the browser for some time now and are beginning to see use cases where users wish to refer to a data object they have discovered in the browser or access it from R or the icommands. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a way to obtain the path in a usable form. The boxes at the top of the screen cannot be cut and pasted properly and are truncated. The path is present in the URL, but it is encoded to escape special characters such as slash or space.

Would it be possible to implement the ability to cut and paste of one or multiuple iRODS path(s) out of the browser?

Thanks,

Burnce

Yes I agree that's a needed feature. We can push that forward in priority in this milestone we are working
