How to retrieve the selected file after the user has pressed the Tauri Mac shortcut?

[billywatkins]

I am trying to obtain the file path when the user selects a file and presses "Cmd+Shift+R" in the finder.

I have successfully registered the shortcut, and it is working. However, I am unsure of how to obtain the file path of the selected file.

#![cfg_attr(not(debug_assertions), windows_subsystem = "windows")]

use tauri::GlobalShortcutManager;

#[tauri::command]
fn greet(name: &str) -> String {
    format!("Hello ->, {}!", name)
}

fn main() {
    // setup the shortcut
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .setup(|app| {
            // #[cfg(target_os = "macos")]
            // app.set_activation_policy(tauri::ActivationPolicy::Accessory);

            let mut shortcut = app.global_shortcut_manager();
            shortcut
                .register("Cmd+Shift+R", move || {
                    println!("Cmd+Shift+R pressed");
                    
                })
                .unwrap_or_else(|err| println!("{:?}", err));

            Ok(())
        })
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![greet])
        .build(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while building tauri application")
        .run(|_app_handle, event| match event {
            tauri::RunEvent::ExitRequested { api, .. } => {
                api.prevent_exit();
            }
            _ => {}
        })
}

UPDATE:

I wrote a small AppleScript to do this, although I would love to know if this is the right way to accomplish the task?

 let apple_script = r#"
                    tell application "Finder"
                    set selectedItems to selection
                    set filePathsString to ""
                    set itemSeparator to "<-|->"
                    
                    repeat with itemRef in selectedItems
                        if filePathsString is not "" then
                            set filePathsString to filePathsString & itemSeparator
                        end if
                        set filePathsString to filePathsString & (POSIX path of (itemRef as alias))
                    end repeat
                end tell
                
                return filePathsString
                    "#;

Probably the best you get since this doesn't seem like something macos actually wants you to do (no good explicit apis for this). And if it works, can it really be wrong?

It works. I am completely new to Mac app development, and I was just making sure there are any APIs available through Tauri to accomplish this.
