Title: Re: Local and remote disks
Here is one I placed in my Finder toolbar and run from any location I browse to:
tell application "Finder"
if exists (front Finder window) then
set thePath to POSIX path of ((target of front window) as alias)
else
set thePath to "" -- or whatever, if needed
end if
display dialog "The path to this folder is:" default answer thePath
end tell

Yes, that's how I've currently solved it:
I issue a "df" shell command and parse its output.
Can I retrieve the POSIX path from a Finder object ?
Thank you very much,
Harald
