Pretty paths for non-root volumes

[twhb]

Currently, if you’ve got a file “file.txt” at the root of volume “example”, its path is reported as follows:

 

• By Finder, with icons: example/file.txt
• By Terminal: /Volumes/example/files.txt
• By Alfred results: /System/Volumes/Data/Volumes/example/file.txt

 

I’m sure there’s a reason for what Alfred’s doing, but it makes path displays quite a bit less readable, and it’s weird for people who don’t know macOS implementation details. I’d love a display like Finder’s, but would also be ok with a display like Terminal’s.

 

(I’m on 4.8 [1312], apologies if this is already reworked in 5.)

Change Alfred version format to match Alfred’s

Indeed this was already reworked in version 5. We’ve added an internal ticket regarding this in Alfred 4.

Thanks for the reply, looks like I have one more reason to upgrade.
