I'm not sure I think of IrfanView as a modern app (certainly not modern 
looking, more like win2K era) but I must admit I haven't installed it 
for a few years.

I used win11 Notepad, and did a file/saveas, navigated into a nested 
folder, just right-click on any folder while still in that saveas 
process and the context menu includes "copy as path" which places the 
full path (even for UNC shares) to the clipboard.
