Multi-file Output Formats

Given three files selected: src/app.ts, src/index.ts, src/utils.ts

`src/app.ts src/index.ts src/utils.ts`	`src/app.ts, src/index.ts, src/utils.ts`	`[ "src/app.ts", "src/index.ts", "src/utils.ts" ]`

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",
