Hi, I’d like to join the beta testers too! Running 10.5.8 on a PB G4. Let’s see how the new version runs on these legacy machines… Thanks!

Could I get on the beta please?
I used to use PathSnagger and have stopped since Snow Lepoard, would really like to see it again

Alright, the people have spoken. I’ll see about putting the RegEx into 2.0 final. 2.0b2 is very close, btw. I’ve been sidetracked with another project, but hopefully next week I can get that one out the door.

Just discovered PathSnagger while looking for a way for my users to share clickable links for paths to files in networked locations (got to you from http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=107395 ).

PathSnagger could have saved me dragging files from the Finder to Terminal to get their Unix path a few thousand times, and I’m happy to have found it for that reason alone.

It’s PathSnagger’s potential to be useful in a networked environment that really excites me, though – Steve C’s suggestion of being able to substitute a RegEx for the ‘localhost/Volumes/’ portion of the paths returned by PathSnagger is one that would make it a very good solution for sharing paths to files on a server with other network users. The perfect solution would be for PathSnagger to have an option to return information similar to that found in the ‘Server:’ field when Get Info is performed on a networked file in the Finder e.g.

afp://sing/IT/Documents/test number one.rtf

rather than the path returned by PathSnagger with ‘/localhost/Volumes’:

file://localhost/Volumes/IT/Documents/test%20number%20one.rtf

If you could incorporate this functionality I imagine users in every Mac networked environment would find PathSnagger incredibly useful!

I suspect I’m not the only one grappling with a situation where users who share access to the same file server attach sizeable files to emails to send to each other, because they cannot be bothered to navigate through, or type out, file paths to networked resources.

I’d be delighted to test the beta, if you’ll have me.

This is a great tool!

Both of these links work in Apple Mail 3.6, Leopard. Only the bottom link works in Apple Mail 4.2, Snow Leopard. Is there a way to configure Path Snagger to not include localhost?

file://localhost/Applications/TextEdit.app/

file:///Applications/TextEdit.app/
