iphoto :: get filepath

April 20, 2009 7:08 PM

What's the quickest way to get the complete filepath of an image in iphoto copied into the clipboard? (ie, to fill in a "Browse..." to upload button a webpage)

All the "info" stuff I see just gives me a filename. The only way I see to do it now is "Show File" in iphoto, which open finder window, then right on icon and do "Show Info", but maddeningly the "Where" field is not selectable to copy onto clipboard.

You know that the filebrowser on 10.5 allows you to access your iPhoto galleries directly, right? It's that pictures entry on the bottom left.

Response by poster: hippybear thanks, I did not know I could do that (looks like Safari only). But still there has to be a good way to just get the complete path...

I'm on 10.4.11, so unixrat I don't think I can take advantage of that.

These apps where they try to hide the filesystem drive me nuts.

unixrat: on my 10.5 system, when I click the Pictures sort button in the Finder sidebar, it has "iPhoto Library" bundled into a single, impenetrable file.

That's a doggone shame because I use that link daily. It's so damn handy. :)
