[python-win32] Files in clipboard with DropEffect?

[Stuart Axon]

Hi,
  I made the a script to manipulate files copied into the clipboard from explorer.  
To know if the file was cut or copied it seems need to get information about the DropEffect - is there a way to do this from win32clipboard ?

S++


[pcp.py]
import os
import sys

import win32api
from win32con import CF_HDROP
from win32clipboard import IsClipboardFormatAvailable, OpenClipboard, GetClipboardData, CloseClipboard

def main():
    targetdir = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else os.getcwd())
    
    ## Note - Need DropEffect to work out if it's copy or cut
    OpenClipboard()
    if (IsClipboardFormatAvailable(CF_HDROP)):
        files = GetClipboardData(CF_HDROP)
    else:
        files = []
    CloseClipboard()
    
    if os.path.abspath(os.path.commonprefix(files)) == targetdir:
        print 'Files already in folder [' + targetdir + ']'
    
    ## TODO - Check for overwriting
    for file in files:
        win32api.MoveFile(file, os.path.join(targetdir, os.path.basename(file)))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
