finder

FilePathCM is a contextual menu item for copying the:

• POSIX path
• HFS path
• Full name
• Display name
• Extension
• Windows style path

of a file or folder to the clipboard.

Sweet, I was going to write an AppleScript for this, but found this instead.

A friend of mine wanted to copy some files from an iTunes playlist to an external drive, but iTunes wouldn't allow her to simply let these files being dragged to the intended destination folder in Finder. She asked me what she could do about it.

I thought about it for a minute, knowing that it wouldn't work with iTunes alone - but I realized that it's probably simple to code a solution. Even better than having a separate standalone application for it, I figured I could write a new FUSE file system - making use of the excellent MacFUSE project!

Allie, this is the solution to your problem (though you can't use it on 10.3). This is a great example of someone being able to leverage an open source hunk of code to scratch their own itch and then being kind enough to release their work as well.
