Copy file path to clilpboard from finder... how 2?

[MacLuv]

Is there any way to copy the path from a file in the finder in OSX... ???? knowwhattimean?

There is a program called "Open Terminal Here" that you can put in your Finder window toolbars, or you could drag a directory to the terminal to get the path that way.

G. Peretz, that app is a cool idea but it wrecks my window size, and /etc/motd and .login files (they don't get displayed properly I mean)...

Maybe they'll figure out a better implementation in future versions

Drag the file into Terminal and it automatically puts the path in your Terminal window.

Look on VersionTracker. There is a context menu item you can download for free that does just that. It will copy either the Unix path or HFS path, depending on which you choose. Very handy. I think it's called 'Copy Path'.

cool... i definately think we need a "show full path" option in the search window or elsewhere that can be copied... i'm tired of retyping links to this and that!

Absolutely. I hate having to click on the file to see its path in the search results.

There's also Contextual Menu Module (CMM) plugin for the Finder which provides an option to open Terminal.app already set to the folder you are working with in the Finder.
