Multi-file Output Formats

Settings

Open Settings (Ctrl+,) and search Path Master, or add to settings.json:

{
  // Show a notification toast after copying
  "pathMaster.showNotifications": true,

  // How long the status bar message stays (milliseconds)
  "pathMaster.notificationDuration": 3000,

  // Separator: "auto" (OS default) | "forward" (/) | "backward" (\)
  "pathMaster.defaultPathSeparator": "auto",
