title: OSX : absolute desktop file path ? (including /Volumes)
body: <p>When I try to retrieve the path of a file on my desktop, I get :</p>
  
  <pre><code>/Users/MyName/Desktop/file.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I need the full path (to feed a bash script):</p>
  
  <pre><code>/Volumes/MyDrive/Users/MyName/Desktop/file.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I spent quite some time searching for a solution, but couldn't find any.
  I'm open to anything that can be run through Automator, bash or applescript.</p>
  
  <p>It makes me crazy because if I simply drop my file.txt in Coda, it will output the full absolute path I want, right away, whereas Terminal won't.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas ?</p>
