Hi,

If you hide the image, ie, Right Click->Preview settings->Un tick "Image Visible" you will be left with some details of the image.

If you want the full path, you need to hone your regex skills and extract out all the PFILE stuff, here is a little program that may work for you

#!/usr/bin/perl

open (my $SLA, "<", "Document-1.sla") or die "Can't open file for reading $!\n";

while (<$SLA>){
my $line = $_;
if ($line =~ /PFILE="(.*)" PFILE2.*/){print "$1\n"}

}
