There is a program called "Open Terminal Here" that you can put in your Finder window toolbars, or you could drag a directory to the terminal to get the path that way.

G. Peretz, that app is a cool idea but it wrecks my window size, and /etc/motd and .login files (they don't get displayed properly I mean)...

Maybe they'll figure out a better implementation in future versions

Drag the file into Terminal and it automatically puts the path in your Terminal window.

Look on VersionTracker. There is a context menu item you can download for free that does just that. It will copy either the Unix path or HFS path, depending on which you choose. Very handy. I think it's called 'Copy Path'.

Absolutely. I hate having to click on the file to see its path in the search results.
