I was being driven nuts by having to do “Get info” or dropping files into terminal just to get their path. This is a godsend!!
Developer Response
Hi Loopless, thanks for the kind words.Get Info and drag-to-Terminal are the usual macOS ways. Pathly is meant to skip that: right-click, copy the path in the format you need.Glad it is a godsend.- Pathly Team
iCloud Drive problems
bobembry
Doesn't seem to work with files located on iCloud Drive. Otherwise it is OK
Developer Response
Hi Bob, thanks for the report.On iCloud Drive, Pathly shows up under Services, not at the top of the right-click menu. That is a macOS limitation: Apple does not let third-party apps add items to the main iCloud Drive menu. You can use Services → Copy path, Copy filename, etc.).- Pathly Team
New in this version:
• Heads-up for exFAT, FAT and NTFS drives: macOS blocks Finder menu extensions on these drives, so Pathly now detects them and clearly names the drive instead of silently showing nothing.
• Install Quick Actions: from those drives, add Pathly's copy actions to Finder's Quick Actions menu with one click — so you can still copy paths anywhere.
• Refreshed app icon and clearer setup guidance.
