Is there a way that I can copy the directory of a file in my HDD? I can "see" that directory by right click/Get info and the directory is in "Where" section, but it doesn't allow me to copy. Thanks :)

Funny, I can copy from the Where line. Finder version 10.6.5 (on my new iMac).

Another option is to open Terminal and drag your file's icon into the Terminal window. The file's path appears on the command line.

Must be a change introduced in Snow Leopard. The app I posted a link to saves having to open Terminal, for those who aren't on SL.
