One way to share links to networked files
Mmh, mixed results -- I did the following things:
A) to get the filepath like:
copy the previous copied filepath to a highlighted word via "Menu > Format > Link…" in TextEdit or Mail and add in front of the filepath "file://" -- this "linked" text is draggable to the finder and becomes a ".fileloc" file
B) or better:
C) or best:
D) combine the spotlight or the Contextual Menu tip w/ TextExpander like: prepare a snippet like Thinking: I'm sure there is someone who can build an AppleScript -- maybe with a dialogue -- to make this even easier
One way to share links to networked files
For the manual creation of .fileloc file you described in A, you can simply drag the file or folder to the text box of the dialog for link creation (in TextEdit, Mail, ...) and add the prefix "file://". Another solution is to drag to a Finder window the content of the Firefox's adress bar after the drag of a file or folder. The Applescript I wrote above may be an easier solution, though ;-)

To create .afploc files, i propose this Applescript :
(again, use at your own risk, with same problems on files or folder with a name containing the character '/')I don't know a way to obtain the afp server given a mount point, to avoid the dialog.
