Software Reviews and Criticism

    Very Useful

    Does what it says. Nice options to customize exactly how you want the path to be grabbed (escaping out special characters, for example). I'm sure App Store requirements forced the developer to use the Services menu as the way to implement this. That's ok, but it would be nice if this would show up as a contextual menu in the Finder without having to navigate to the Services submenu. Hopefully someday the nwe Extensions feature introduced in Yosemite will allow the devloper to pull this out of the Services submenu and make it a little easier to access (perhaps with its own submenu, to pick the style of path one wants). Note that there is a program called TotalFinder that implements this feature more like what I'd prefer, but you can't get that in the App Store because it doesn't play by Microsoft's rules (it really can't play by Microsoft's rules and implement all its features). I've stopped using TotalFinder because I feel like it introduces some compatibility/stability issues and I just don't need all of its features.

    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.

    Extremely useful

    I’ve been using PathSnagger for many years prior to it being available on the App Store. It’s an indispensible tool in my OS X toolbox.

    AMAZING!

    At long last, an app that copies file paths with options!! Words can’t express my delight that this app was developed. I had complicated automater actions and applescript functions trying to simply copy a file path, and replace the spacers with a custom character. This app allows you to do just that and more. As @rdonie suggested, map it to a keyboard short via Keyboard Pref Pane and your filepath copying days will be glorious. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I’d pay $10 for it!!

    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!
