copy file path of selected file

[vindoe]

Hi!

As long as i used Alfred V1 i was happy tu use the copypath extension from http://johnfraney.ca/ 

Now i switched to Alfred V2 and i cannot use this feature anymore. I tried to find a conversion but without success.

I also tried to built a workflow myself but i did not get it up running. The old extension was an apple script running in background:

 

 

tell application "Finder" to set theItems to selection

set thePaths to ""

repeat with i in theItems

set thisItem to POSIX path of (i as alias)

set thePaths to thePaths & thisItem & return

end repeat

set the clipboard to thePaths

 

I set this up with a keyword / hotkey but nothing happens. 

 

Anyone who can help me with that?

 

Kind regards

Unless I've misunderstood what you are looking for, you should just be able to use cmd+c on the selected item in Alfred to copy the path for that item

 

Edit: Ahh I see you mean copy the finder items paths. That AppleScript should work too if you put it in a workflow Run Script action (osascript) attached from a hotkey.

Hi Andrew!

 

That was fast 

I did that: http://minus.com/mk6JUDBzrAw59 (hope you can see the screenshots)

 

Instead of shortcut i also tried keyword but that did not helped either.

The path is not copied to the clipboard. Simply nothing happens...

 

Do i have to activate the workflow?

You are using a different script in the screenshot than what you are in the previous post. The script from the previous post, when pasted into the script area should work as expected. I was able to take the code and paste it in, set the language and it worked perfectly. I used a keyword to execute it.

 

You also have a mistake in the code from the screenshot. You have: tell application "Finder&quote and it should be: tell application "Finder"

Hi David, 

 

Thank's! Now it works. I think it was the copy&paste error ("Finder&quote). 

 

Now i've got my favourite Alfred extension back runnig.

 

By the way this forum is the first i used where i got quick help and a solution.

Thank you all!
