exscape Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 In windows, you can browse to a path directory by directory, or enter the path (and/or file name) manually in a text box. Very useful if you have the path in your clipboard. Is this possible in OS X?

A Nonny Moose Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 you can do it via terminal with: open -a insert_path_here In terms of a per-applicaiton basis, I don't think it can be done without some hackery. Not saying it can't be done, though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25858-enter-path-manually/#findComment-175273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

moksha Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 WHen you're in an open or save dialouge, just press slash (/) and you can enter the path. It'll even enter the most likely folder for you once you type a few letter and wait.
