Features

  • Windows Explorer context menu integration (per-user)
  • Copy file content to clipboard -- Image files - copies image data (ready to be pasted in image editors) -- Text files - copies text content -- Other files - copies as base64 string
  • Configurable output (line endings, quoting, separators)
  • Tray icon with quick actions
  • Per-user install under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Narula\NCopyContent
  • Easy install as command-line executable: NCopyContent.exe --install
  • Easy uninstall as command-line executable: NCopyContent.exe --uninstall

Requirements

  • Windows 10/11
  • .NET 10 (C# 14)

Installation (Per-user)

  • Run the executable directly. On first launch, the app self-registers.
  • No admin rights are required.

Command-line switches

  • --install: installs the app to User's local app data and registers context menu.
  • --uninstall: unregisters context menu and attempts to removes installed files from local app data. If files are in use, user can manually delete later.

Usage

  1. Right-click files in Explorer.
  2. Choose the NCopyContent context menu entry.
  3. The selected details are copied to the clipboard.
  4. Copied content are automatically removed from clipboard after the configured timeout (default 10 seconds) for privacy.

Configuration

  • Open the configuration window from the tray icon or app UI. -- Adjust text auto clipboard timeout -- Choose if app should start with Windows -- Uninstall the application

Uninstall

  • From the tray icon, choose Uninstall, or run the app with the uninstall option (if provided).
  • The app stops the tray icon, unregisters the context menu, clears HKCU installed path, and runs a temporary batch to delete files from %LOCALAPPDATA%\Narula\NCopyContent.

Privacy & Permissions

  • Operates entirely under the user profile; no admin privileges required.
  • Uses HKCU registry keys for installed path and context menu registration.
