  1. Actually, since this is an action, I think you have to make a small workflow to use this as a finder plugin. The following workflow works well when saved as a Finder plugin:

    Workflow:
    Get Selected Finder Items
    Get UNIX Paths of Files
    Copy to Clipboard

  2. For a Finder plugin you don’t need the first action.

  3. Weird, I can’t open this file in Automator. It’s icon says “ACTN” on it, instead of “WFLW”. Is that significant? And there’s no application associated with it.

  4. In the Automator, in the ‘file’ menu, select ‘import actions’
    Then you should be able to see this action.

  5. It’s strange. Using this script, sometimes I got a format like /dir1/dir2/dir2/file

    sometimes I got “Macintosh HD:dir1:dir2:file

    Has anyone have the same problem?

  6. This is fantastic, especially since the contextual menu I’ve been using for a while doesn’t work on MacIntel. Thanks for this.

  7. Did this stop working? Mine used to work, but now it just spins and spins while automator moves on to the next action.

  8. Thank you!!!! What a lifesaver this action is! I’ve been manually working through this for way too long!

  10. This AppleScript Does the same thing:

    on run {input, parameters}
    return POSIX path of input
    end run
