Copy XPath of selected node

[LeMapper]

Dear all, first of all thank you for this editor. I use it mainly for viewing large XML files (up to 300MB) and checking / searching content within specific nodes / XPaths.

XMLNotepad already offers a feature to search within an XPath (Find > "Use XPath"). As a user searching a lot within specific XPaths, I would like to be able to copy the XPath of nodes from the tree view and/or start a search within this specific node from the context menu of the tree view, to minimize the waiting time and get more specific results.

At the moment, I know only of Notepad++ with the "XML Tools"-Plugin, that has this ability: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3148217/how-to-get-the-xpath-of-a-certain-node-when-viewing-an-xml-file-in-visual-studio

Edit: I am aware, that the XPath of the selected node gets pre-populated in the search field, when enabling the tick-box at "Use XPath". This is a bit cumbersome, though, because XMLNotepad freezes for several minutes after ticking this box (given large filesizes).

Kind regards, LeMapper

Does the "Copy XPath" command work? It should copy the XPath expression that locates the selected node in the tree view to your clipboard.

Hopefully Copy XPath does the trick.
