love it! finally no more typing long paths in emails!
One question: it seems to put escape characters in front of spaces… These have to be manually removed when using the goto function. Is there a way to turn them off?
… even though this was the #2 request..
Wow, the Go To dialog is about as non-standard as you could ever hope for. It accepts ~ characters and in all ways looks like it will deal with POSIX paths, but you’re right, \ characters screw it up. And you can’t put the whole thing in quotes, it won’t accept that either.
I’ll see if I can come up with a solution.
That was meant to say “… you’re right \\ characters screw it up.” And in case that doesn’t make it, i meant “… you’re right, (backslash) characters screw it up.”
hehe. fix one problem…. 😉
thx,

I cannot get the 1.1b3 version to work on 10.3.9 — The “Copy Path” one available at apple’s website works fine ( http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/copypath.html ), but when I follow the instructions in the readme and relaunch the finder, I do not see Snag Path in the contextual menus.
In other words, Copy Path works fine, but I would prefer your newer one that has the system prefs so I can remove the quotes.
OK, I figured out what I was missing — I didn’t realize I had to enable the menu choices by going into the system preferences and selecting the enable options. Maybe you should have these turned on by default for impatient people like me? 🙂
Will, this has been fixed for 1.1b4. I was going to let you know, but you figured it out already! With luck, 1.1b4 should get released this weekend.
