But yeah anyway.. if you're uncomfortable with cmd lines, then yes it might just be time consuming for someone. But the truth is it really is a lot more efficient for many types of file operations.

But then again there's a lot of situations where a GUI does work better. If you don't do a lot of work with files then it's probably all moot anyway. But it's just knowing what options are there for you.
You have to navigate to that long path first in order to copy it.

However one feature I'd like to see added to Windows/Mac/Linux, etc is the ability to double-click a directory part in a path to get to that part of the path. For instance, in this path on my computer:

C:\Documents and Settings\Matthew\My Documents\games 020211

I could click the word Matthew and it'd pull me back to the Matthew directory rather than hitting "up" over and over.
