aliaspath's Issues

it doesn't handle special characters in file path

If a file path contains parentheses, quotes, single quotes, etc., this tool return various errors: and it doesn't accept file path formatted with escape characters.

Problem with alias ending in forward slash in finder

This is a superb tool; thank you for it. I've found one problem that may not be solvable. The wine emulator (at least in its Wineskin package) creates a folder named dosdevices which contains a set of aliases that represent Windows paths in wine. In the terminal, these aliases have names like c: and d:. In the finder, they display as c/ and d/. I can't find any way to make aliasPath output their actual paths. Am I missing something obvious, or is this syntax something that aliasPath can't handle?

When I use aliasPath with every variety of quoting or escaping that I can think of, I get error messages saying there is no such file.

I'll be grateful for any help with this.

Option to update paths?

Hi, this is a nice tool, thanks for making it available. I notice while playing around with it, that unlike AppleScript-based methods for querying the path of the original, this tool keeps returning the path that the alias was created with. In some cases, if the alias is broken, that's what I want. In other cases it isn't. For instance, I might create an alias to a file at path A, then move that file to path B, then run this tool. It will still tell me path A. If I then use AppleScript to query the path of the original, it will tell me path B. At this point I assume the actual alias file has updated its path. But this tool continues to report path A. Is there any simple fix that would get this tool to resolve to the current path of the target file if available, else fall back to the path it's now reporting?

does not install

I cloned the repo to /usr/local/bin and then typed the command sudo xcodebuild install at /usr/local/bin/aliasPath. I got the following output:
