Can use terminal too
Authored by: clarkjackson on Oct 10, '02 11:27:11AM

If you have terminal open you can accomplish the same thing by dragging a directory or file into the terminal window. You can copy and paste the path from there.

Re: Can use terminal too (Untrue)

This is not quite true. You get different results if any of your folder names or disk names include spaces. Applications such as NetUnfo Manager use the proper path names you get using the Stickies trick, rather than the UNIX cludge produced by the Terminal.

Path in Stickies:
/Volumes/Hard Disk/Users/master/Desktop/Another Folder

Path in Terminal;
/Volumes/Hard\ Disk/Users/master/Desktop/Another\ Folder
