Get File Path overview

Get File Path allows users to copy to the clipboard the path of a file or folder dropped on it, after the automatic application of various programmable transformations.

  • It works with any kind of file (applications, documents, folders, ...).
  • It uses pattern matching to copy and transform the name, and/or the path, and/or the parent folder path of the dropped file.
  • It can automatically insert other characters and tags during the copy, which is useful to create links for example.
  • It remembers the last pattern used.
  • It can automatically resolve aliases (files and paths).
  • It can use Unix paths as well as Mac paths.
  • It can copy the result to the clipboard or to an edit field.
  • It can automatically replace blank spaces by %20 in the paths.
  • It can automatically quit afterwards.
  • It doesn't need any installation which makes it very easy to use.
  • It is available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and many other languages.

Old thieves never die, they just come back to rob you some more!

Their still being allowed to post on MacUpdate is a tribute to uncaring, shameless greed!

Do your homework, and you'll find something not just better, but free!!!

ABSOLUTE LARCENY. Sorry this app might be worth $.99 – nothing more. macOS already performs similar tasks for FREE.

If all you need is the standard path of a file or folder, you can Get Info (Command-I) on it and the path is included in the the Where category. All you need to do is select the path and copy it and it's on the clipboard ready to use wherever you need it. This app, if it's worth anything, it's certainly not worth $27. Five dollars, maybe, but not a penny more.

If you already have Path finder, a way to clip a file path is built in. Just use the Edit > Copy Path and select from common path formats (UNIX, Windows, HFS, Terminal...) and it's clipped to the clipboard. I don't understand the outrageous price on Get File Path...Path Finder is a bargain at $40 as it does so much. If you're going to spend nearly $30, go for the extra ten and get a versatile Finder alternative. (I have no affiliation with Path Finder.)
