To clarify the above, Windows has a non-text clipboard data type when
'copying' a file in the File Explorer which encodes additional
information other than its path. This is to allow the equivalent 'paste'
function in Explorer and other file-accepting GUI applications to work
more intelligently. Unfortunately, Cygwin's /dev/clipboard and
get/putclip only process text formats.

I imagine your X file manager is simply copying a textual representation
of the file path to the clipboard when you choose 'copy' which of course
can be extracted by scripts etc. It appears that Windows Explorer
doesn't also place a textual representation onto the clipboard (the
Windows clipboard allows multiple representations to exist
simultaneously) which is what would be required for Cygwin to use it at
present.
