Sometimes you need to set a file/directory path as a variable in Tasker. Instead of writing down or remembering the path, copy it to clipboard straight from a file manager of your choice.

STEP 1 - CREATE PROFILE

• Create a new profile. Name it Path Copier.
• Add AutoShare Event context. Tap Command and add a new command: Path Copier
• Add a new task.
• Add action Set Clipboard to %asfile()
• Add action Flash: Copied to clipboard %asfile()

STEP 2 - TEST

In the file manager, share file or folder with AutoShare Command and select Path Copier command. The path will be copied to clipboard.

Silly simple profile but handy
