I am using Mac OS Catalina (10.15.4) and am looking at a running GUI application. I want to find out exactly what path that application is running from. How can I do this?

Can't you get that from the Menu bar, from Help, or File / About this app?– user1019780Jun 5, 2020 at 16:07

No, that does not have the information I need (the file path).– Michael HagarJun 6, 2020 at 23:22

If you select it in your /Applications folder and press Command-i, you should get the information you need.– user1019780Jun 7, 2020 at 6:42

Command-click on any GUI app's icon in the Dock and it will be revealed in the Finder.
The actual executable binary file is inside the .app
bundle that was revealed, and is usually named the same as the app (without the .app
ending this time), so Example.app/Contents/MacOS/Example
.
