I'm trying to find a way to have the right click option to copy file name (or directory name).
I'm use nautilus scripts but I'm having a hard time figuring this out.
Can anybody help?

Thank you. The script works, but it ads two new lines at the end. Is there a way to remove them?

Well, now there's only one new line at the end. I'm on debian XFCE and installed Nautilus (3.4.2) as an extra file manager.

Thanks for your effort, but it still ads a line break at the end

Well, that definitely has to do with your setup because I used the last version for an entire day and it worked as expected on my system (no trailing newlines). Anyway, the proper way to do this would be withpython(or, even better,C- but I don't knowC) - however I don't have the time to look into this right now...

Open a terminal window.
cd "Directory" (without the quotes) -- hit the enter key.
ls (then hit "Enter" Key)
After the list is returned in the window, highlight and copy the list of returned files, then copy them to a doc or spreadsheet.
Example 1:
cd Documents (followed by Enter key)
ls (followed by Enter key)
Copy the generated list of files in the Documents directory/folder and paste into spreadsheet, or simply save them into a text file.
