How to Force XYplorer to always display full path of User folders in address bar

Post by XYveezy »

Depending on how I navigate to my ..\Users\xxxx\Downloads.. folder (as well as documents, videos, photos & other user folders) the full path is only displayed half the time and its hit or miss. I can't even figure out which exact way of navigation makes it not display the full path and what makes it display the full path. I've tried some methods that come out with both. It drives me nuts. So for instance if I'm in my user downloads folder and click on the address bar, instead of the full path "C:\Users\xxxx\Downloads.." being displayed like I would like it to every time, the "path" is just displayed as "Downloads" and stays the same as just "Downloads" even after clicking on the address bar. This is very annoying because I often have to select the path for one reason or another during file management sessions. I've skimmed through the settings but nothing jumped out at me in regards to changing a setting that would force XYplorer to display full path.

Is there a setting I missed that can do this? If so under what section? If not, is there any other way to force full paths to show in the adress bar for ever folder and every location no matter what? This is essentially what I'd really like. I dont understand why anyone would not want this but who knows.

Any feedback or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

ABPathsReal

Set the value of that key to 1 (=> ABPathsReal=1) in the XYplorer.ini file (while XY is closed)

Can be done via GUI:
- Right-click the path icon in the address bar
- Toggle Show Real Path
