What does PathSnagger 2 do?

Awesome & Simple!
I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about. This has worked on every release for the last PC release for the last 6 years. It also perfectly creates clickable thinks. However, the links are designed to work on the system on which it was created. The likelihood that you email the link to someone else and they have the same files in exactly the some place as you is rare (perhaps with mapped network drives with the same drive designation). THIS APP WORKS PERFECTLY FOR WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED (AND DESCRIBED) TO DO! Purchase with confidence!
I use it at work every day
I've used this for over 4 years at work across many computers and it has worked on every version of OS I've had. I've only used it to share locations on a private server with coworkers but we use it constantly, every day. The only thing that has caused any issue for me is that sometimes I need to reset my preferences when I update, but that's not a big deal. Love it
Do not buy!!
Does not work in Catalina. Waste of Money.
What do you expect for .99?
It says people use this to "send clickable URLs", but when you make a URL and paste it in an e-mail (in Mail) it does not work.
Simple yet powerful utility
PathSnagger does something that sounds like it's part of the OS: it allows you to copy the path of a selected file to the clipboard. Out of the box, it does this fairly simply-- two clicks and I have a path copied. But the configuration options are what make this utility shine: being able to configure different path options (colons like HFS or slashes like Unix, or paths relative to your home directory) means that you can create different workflows for different purposes. Pro tip: assign a keystroke for the service in the Keyboard Pref Pane to make it even faster.
