                UNC to SMB OS X Text Service
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    I run into UNC paths fairly often and they can be a pain to deal with on OS X. So I wrote a little text service action that helps with this problem.
After you set this up, you will be able to highlight any text in a text field, right click and have the text converted from a UNC path to a smb:// style URL. This is especially helpful when using these in Finder with the Go -> Connect to Server dialog box.
To use this:

Open Automator
Select File -> New
For the document type, choose "Service"
Add the "Run Shell Script" action
