Show Real Path option in the Breadcrumb Bar (like in the Address Bar)

Post by xy123 »

When you right click on the icon in the Address Bar there is an option Show Real Path.
I don't use the Address Bar, so I would like to always see real paths in the Breadcrumb Bar.

Rapid Access\Test should always be C:\Something\BlaBla\Aaaaa\Baaa\Test, without the need for right click + Go to Real Path command.

But then clicking on the components would take you to the real path.

What do you mean by components? Is my example (Rapid Access\Test) a component?

The clickable parts of a path in the breadcrumb bar.

Oh, you mean in a tree position. I have "Lock Tree" on so I wouldn't care.

It's just really confusing (for me) to see Rapid Access\Test when it is really C:\Something\BlaBla\Aaaaa\Baaa\Test

The whole idea of RAF is that it is confusing/superfluous to see C:\Something\BlaBla\Aaaaa\Baaa. If you want to see it, don't use RAF.

Well, fair enough. I don't even remember why I stopped using the built-in Links folder.

I wish we can have the second Catalog, one on the Left and one on the right (tweak ReplaceTreeWithSecondCatalog).

I remembered, History_1999-2019.txt:
In Explorer you can manually sort the items. This is currently not supported in XY.
