How get the full path in the title bar instead of shortcut ?

Post by ratus69 »

Hi,

I'm wondering how can I have in the title bar the full path like C:\Users\username\Documents\ instead of My Documents\ ?
I'm using Win7

Thanks a lot

There is currently no way to always show the "real" path in the title bar.

FYI, Ctrl+P will copy the current path (in the "real" version: C:\Users\username\Documents\) to the clipboard. Does this help?

Don! you added <get ...> to titlebar templates, so one can use <get path> here. Isn't it?

Hi and Welcome!
Go to menu "Tools>Configuration>Templates" and in "Titlebar" field change <path> to <get path>.
Does that work?

Unfortunately not. It will show the previous path. This is due to the internal order of processing.

Fun workaround if you're like me and never use the tree (or don't need My Documents on it and the list).

Tools->Configuration->General->Items in Tree and List.
Uncheck 'Show Documents Folder'.

Now when you go to "My Documents" you end up at the actual location and the <path> variable in the titlebar shows the full path. (At least on XP)
