I want to create a script that will always run in Windows Explorer that will take a Mac OS X path and convert it to a Windows path automatically. So if I receive a Mac path and am working on Windows I can copy the Mac file path into Explorer and it will resolve to the proper location.

Example:

Mac Path: file:///Volumes/file_server/projects/foo
Win Path: Z:\projects\foo

Is there a way to add in this functionality to Windows?

  • Could you specify what you actually want. You haven't done so. Would a regex that converted file:///Volumes/file_server/ into Z:\ suffice? Commented Mar 23, 2011 at 19:24
  • I'm actually looking for how I can get a script or addin to run in Windows Explorer and resolve the paths correctly. Any script language will do. I'm capable of figuring out the regex. I'm more trying to figure out how to extend behavior in Windows Explorer. Commented Mar 23, 2011 at 21:11
  • @jaysnop That's not going to be possible in an easy fashion I suspect. Commented Mar 23, 2011 at 21:15
  • I didn't expect it to be easy, otherwise I wouldn't be asking for help. :) Commented Mar 23, 2011 at 21:38
  • Explorer doesn't really do add-ins, to the best of my knowledge. How do you want to get this path into Explorer? Do you have any UI in mind? Commented Mar 23, 2011 at 21:43
