Can I make xyplorer always show full paths in the path box?

[arkid]

A small but constant frustration I have is that in various parts of the windows file structure ("My documents" is the most obvious example) XPplorer shows a relative path in the path box.

Ie it shows "Documents\folder1\folder2" instead of C:\My Documents\folder1\folder2

Viewing it like that is fine but the issue I have is copying so that I can paste the url into some other program, something I need to do surprisingly often.

I know that right clicking on the icon to the left allows me to "copy real path" but I wish I didn't have to do this as it's more clicks.

Is it not possible to make it always show full paths? I haven't found a setting for this.

Why don't you just use Ctrl+p (it always copies the real path)?

Ah ok.... well i never knew of that shortcut, I guess there's that. Still would be nice to display full paths

Well, I was in the mood:

Code: Select all

    + Added a tweak to always show the real path with drive letter in the 
      Address Bar and in the Find Files Location box, even if the tree is 
      located in a "virtual" (or "special") path:
        ABPathsReal=1
      Note that the distinction between virtual path and real path is lost with 
      this tweak enabled and in certain contexts the tree will end up in the 
      real path when it normally (without the tweak) would end up in the virtual 
      path.

Next beta...

Ah brilliant thanks!

It gets even better. I went all the way and made it an UI option:

Code: Select all

    + Address Bar: Added command "Show Real Path" to the icon's right-click 
      menu. Tick it to always show the real path with drive letter in the Address 
      Bar and in the Find Files Location box, even if the tree is located in a 
      "virtual" (or "special") path like "Desktop".
      Note that the distinction between virtual path and real path is lost with 
      "Show Real Path" enabled and in certain contexts the tree will end up in 
      the real path when it normally would (or should) end up in the virtual 
      path.
