Why doesn't "Paste Reference" work under OS X? That was one of my
favorite tricks under 9. Now I have to type in a long path to the
file.
If you use Smile you can drag a Finder object into a script or text
window and the pathname will be written for you. You then have to put
quotes round it, but that's just a keystroke, as the pathname is
already highlighted.
Much better in Smile:
1) Drop an Finder item (1), and you get its non-quoted path:
--> the:path:of:this:item
2) Cmd- Drop, and you get it in a quoted form preceding by file:
--> file "the:path:of:this:item"
3) If the Finder item is a compiled script, Cntrl-Cmd-Drop, and you get
its full contents.
Useful!
(1) File and folder
