Forklift Tools syntax

Question

In Forklift there is an Tools option, which allows to make quick actions.

But I don't really get how to create one. For example a simple one - to copy files from one pane to another.

cp $SOURCE_SELECTION_NAMES $TARGET_PATH
/bin/bash cp $SOURCE_SELECTION_NAMES $TARGET_PATH
/bin/bash/cp $SOURCE_SELECTION_NAMES $TARGET_PATH

I tried these three variants but none of them work.

Error messages:

1. "The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory"
2. "/bin/cp: /bin/cp: cannot execute binary file"
3. "The operation couldn’t be completed. Not a directory".

I need some other stuff like this - to covert .rtf files to .odt with a bash command:

soffice --convert-to odt $SOURCE_SELECTION_NAMES

What should i write? Maybe /bin/bash in the beginning? Still doesn't work.

From looking at the example in the documentation you need to specificy the full path to the commands you want to run

/bin/cp $SOURCE_SELECTION_NAMES $TARGET_PATH
/path/to/soffice --convert-to odt $SOURCE_SELECTION_NAMES
