Custom action that shows the filename

I lost my custom actions when I upgraded my O.S.

I need help in getting a custom action that shows the filename when I have a file highlighted.

Thanks.

Re: Custom action that shows the filename

I need help in getting a custom action that shows the filename when I have a file highlighted.

The filename is always displayed though. What exactly was this custom action doing?

Re: Custom action that shows the filename

This works. It shows the filename in Geany so I can just copy it instead of having to type it out.

basename %f > filename.txt && geany filename.txt && rm filename.txt
