I was playing around with this because it seems like a handy idea.
I use Cywin perl, but the differences shouldn't be very great. Anyway,
I came up with the following oneliner that does what you mention above
(passed %1 as a Windows filename, it copies the Cygwin version to the
clipboard)
c:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe -MWin32::Clipboard -e "my $f=quotemeta('%1'); chomp (my
$c=qx!cygpath -u $f!); Win32::Clipboard($c);"
If you install the following registry entries, you get a context menu
for files and directories that runs this when selected. You should be
able to save this as a .REG file and click on it to import the entries,
you'd have to change the path to perl though.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\CygPath]
@="&Copy Cygwin Path"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\CygPath\Command]
@="c:\\cygwin\\bin\\perl.exe -MWin32::Clipboard -e \"my $f=quotemeta('%1'); chomp (my
$c=qx!cygpath -u $f!); Win32::Clipboard($c);\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\CygPath]
@="&Copy Cygwin path"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\CygPath\command]
@="c:\\cygwin\\bin\\perl.exe -MWin32::Clipboard -e \"my $f=quotemeta('%1'); chomp (my
$c=qx!cygpath -u $f!); Win32::Clipboard($c);\""
