I get "Can't find file. No file exists at..." At first I of course tried my most used folder. Nope. I then tried to duplicate the example given in the Hint. Nope. The only difference is that my drive is partitioned, but shouldn\'t putting the name of the particular partition first in the path do the trick?

Test with something on boot partition?

What happens if you try with a folder that is on the boot partition? Or just the root level itself, with file:///?

Did just that when I tried to follow the example in the Hint. Just now I tried file:///partion name. Same thing. I *know* it's gotta be something stupid!

Solution

Try this:

file:///Volumes/partition_name

Also note that the icon in the address bar changes dynamically as you're typing... this way, you know when you got it wrong (it is a blank document icon then).

Get me all excited, and then ...

it sorta works. That is, it behaves nice with all partitions except the boot volume! Now that is either extremely weird or still something dumb on my part. I tried it a million different ways.

A very nice thing about this is you can type the space and it will become the %20 in the URL.
