Short answer:
You can hit shift-command-G in the Finder ('Go to Folder', it's
in the
'Go' menu) and type in "Volumes/" and paste in your folder path, change
the "w:" into a "w/" and hit enter.
No need to hunt and peck. (The drive must be already mounted for
this to work).
Longer answer, you could write an Applecript to reformat the
path to
POSIX and open the link.
file:/// POSIX URL's work just fine on OSX.
If I command-click a path to a folder,
file:///Volumes/mounted-disk/folder/folder/folder/folder/ the folder
will open, regardless whether it's on a Mac or PC. (path needs
to exist of course,
and the disk must be mounted).
command-click a path to a file,
file:///Volumes/mounted-disk/folder/folder/folder/folder/some_movie.mov
opens that movie in the associated application (in this case QuickTime
Player).
A litte tinkering you should be able to
create a Applescript that will allow you to select the text of
the path
you receive from your coworker, reformat it as a POSIX path, and
have it
open.
<http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/303487-using-applescript-open-file.html>
should point the way.
In my case, I select a valid POSIX path (so the reformatting is
not in
this script) and choose this script from a dropdown menu:
_____________________________________________________
tell application "Mailsmith"
set chosenFile to the selection as text
end tell
set filepath to chosenFile
try
set command to "open " & quoted form of filepath
do shell script command
end try
______________________________________________________
To create you own path to paste in and send to coworkers, use this
AppleScript (save as an application, and put it in the scripts
folder in
your menubar):
______________________________________________________
tell application "Finder"
set chosenFile to the selection as alias
set the clipboard to POSIX path of the ¬
chosenFile as text
end tell
_______________________________________________________
Hope this helps!
Rene.
