PowerShell: How to get the name of the selected file?
I run a PowerShell script from the context menu on a selected file. But I struggle to find the way to simply get the file name of this file.
The file name selected is 1.mp3 which is inside the directory sound
I managed to extract some information about the selected item such as:
$FolderPath = Get-Location
$FolderName = [IO.Path]::GetFolderName($FolderPath)
I tried to get its file name using things like $File_path = %1 (since regedit use %1 which is suppose to contain the path).

$Args is an automatic variable,
Cite from Get-Help about_Automatic_Variables
$Args
Contains an array of the undeclared parameters and/or parameter
values that are passed to a function, script, or script block.
When you create a function, you can declare the parameters by using the
param keyword or by adding a comma-separated list of parameters in
parentheses after the function name.
