Question

im asking the finder for the current finder window location/path/whatever with

NSString *path = [[finder insertionLocation] get];

which results in a path like that:

2011-06-03 18:38:55.132 CutIt[1980:903] <FinderFolder @0x1561d960: FinderFolder "eike" of FinderFolder "Users" of startupDisk of application "Finder" (185)>

is there a common way to convert that into a usable path, like /users/eike, or do i have to patch something together myself?

Answer 1

A little bit nested, but you can divide it as you like:

NSString *path = [[NSURL URLWithString:[[[finder insertionLocation] get] URL]] path];
