Off the top, OwnCloud might fit here, for instance. That's a little more than a filename translation tool, but there are file managment packages around. That eliminates the shares, and it eliminates the filename translations, and it can also be used to manage how long the file is kept around and automatically purge things, track access and protect the files, etc.

Where folks upload files to a web interface, and then download those. You're quite near the edge of a file management or content management system. I'd also look at whether traditional file storage and heirarchies are even appropriate for the current environment. Upload to share foo with directory bar, and gives you back a generated path and name. Simplify the problem somewhat, in other words. It'd probably be easier to do some sort of an "uploader" tool that picked a generated filename (or allowed some choice but still enforced a filename and naming conventions) and an upload location to the share for you, and that avoided all the gnarly bits of this problem. This environment is filled with edge cases. Whatever you write will be site-specific, basically parsing the filename and reworking the hunks to match what your local Windows share lettering expects. If you've locked that down in your enviroment and if you're never using odd characters in the filename, then a translation can be a hunk of Perl or Python or some other scripting language.

Your application will inherently be PC specific, as the device letters can be adjusted local to each PC. I would like it (or another application) to then be able to take a Windows file path which I get sent and convert it to an OSX path which I can then go to in Finder. Networkdrive/rootfolder/sub-folder/file) and convert it to the Windows format for me to paste into an email. I work in an office with PC users so I want an application which I can drop a folder/file onto that will extract the server file path (eg. Set mytext to searchReplace(mytext, "smb://", "\\\\") Thanks to: -using-automator-windows-to-mac. Set mylocation to searchReplace(mytext, findIt, replaceIt) Set mytext to searchReplace(mytext, ">", "") Set mytext to searchReplace(m圜lip, ".", "") Set AppleScript's text item delimiters to OldDelims Set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ReplaceString Set AppleScript's text item delimiters to SearchString Set OldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters On searchReplace(theText, SearchString, ReplaceString)

Script: “Convert Windows to Mac path and open it” “Convert Windows to Mac path and open it”

This enables me to select a path, right-click and choose the appropriate service from the “Services…” menu, which I named:

In Mac OS Automator I created three Apple scripts that run as a service. So, I reversed the hack above and added a call to open the folder to the file. Currently, I manually navigate to it by translating the path in my little head, which hurts. \\servername\MLS\Timbers\IrrefutableProofTimbersAreBestTeamInMLS.pdfīut that’s a stupid thing to do over and over, so I found some examples online (this forum and others) and hacked it until I got it to work a few ways (see below).Ī related problem is when Windows users send me a file path and I want to quickly access it. Into an email, then manually convert it to a Windows path: Smb://servername/MLS/Timbers/IrrefutableProofTimbersAreBestTeamInMLS.pdf Got a wild hair to solve this problem since it's been bugging me… first, I'll recap, then provide a solution +:įrom a Mac, I want to copy a file path on a network share into an email so that its clickable by poor Windows recipients.
