Is there a way to copy the paths of multiple books?

As stated in title. I did a search in Power Search. Now I want to use Agent Ransack to search in that subset of books.

There is a copy to clipboard action in action chains plugin. It allows you to define a template to determine what metadata to copy to clipboard for selected books. For example, if you want to copy the path (containing folder) of selected books, use the following template:

program: 
    paths = formats_paths();
    fmt_path = re(paths, ',[A-Z0-9_]+:.*', '');
    path = list_item(fmt_path, 1, ':');
    dir_path = re(path, '(.+)[/\\].*', '\1')

Note: I tried the above on linux, have not tested it on Windows.

Or, if you want the path to a specific format e.g. epub, use this

program: select(formats_paths(),'EPUB')

I think the former doesn't work with Windows, as I just got a bunch of Ds. The second one did work, at least for EPUBs. Thank you.
