DESCRIPTION

FilePathCM is a contextual menu item for copying the:

  • POSIX path
  • Server afp URL
  • Abbreviated (Tilde) POSIX path
  • POSIX path for Terminal
  • HFS path
  • Full name
  • Display name
  • Extension
  • Windows style path

of files and folders to the clipboard. Menu items can be symbolic names or show the actual clipboard contents to be pasted.

It can also be used for creating URLs from file paths, such as AFP type URLs. This is achieved using "prefixes" which are simply prepended to a URL encoded version of a POSIX path.

FilePathCM is part of the Limit Point Software "Utilities Bundle." Visit the Utilities home page at: http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities.html for a list of all the software available. Updates are always free, and new products always included.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.1.1:
  • Added a preference option to label the various items (Mac path, Windows path, terminal path, etc.)
  • Added a preference option to copy all items, one per line.
  • Modified the "Settings" preference pane as required, and reorganized items so that they match the order output when you choose "Copy All"
  • Added option to not include as a submenu.
Version 1.1:
  • Extended the use of prefixes to Windows style pathnames (i.e. UNC syntax) This facilitates prepending the paths generated by this contextual menu by the name of the Windows server.
Version 1.0.9:
  • Using the system preference pane for FilePathCM you can now specify which menu items you would like to have displayed in the contextual menu.
Version 1.0.8:
  • Added a command for copying server afp URLs to the clipboard.

MYSTERY TRAMP  Limit Point deserves a shout out. Great software, and their business model -- donate what you think it's worth; get a password for several products -- should be emulated by other developers. I hope this guy makes a million.

L-I-N-K  Excellent support - thank you for the update.

FilePathCM makes it a snap to copy different variations of file paths to the clipboard.

e.g. working together with windows guys will give you a convenient way to copy a path with backslash separators

I love the custom prefixes (replacing "/Volumes/xy")

ENCRO  You can also enable 'Show Path Bar' in the View Menu of the Finder if you are using OS X 10.5

This will place a path bar at the bottom of the Finder Window.

If I need to obtain the POSIX path I usually just drag a file or folder into Terminal.app and copy the path from there.
