    Seems like a huge hassle....

    Is there are simple way of doing this on a mac?
    PC has it figured out.

    Thanks

      Doesn't work in XP the way you describe. In fact, I still can't get the file pathsmonospaced5/13
      change your folder view options and make the path visible in XPfadein116/13

    I can copy and paste the path next to Where: just fine. Maybe your mouse is broken. Hope you got Apple Care.

    Hm. I've always wondered this myself. I can copy from "where" in get info. Problem is that it doesn't present itself as a link. PathSnagger likely does it.
