Force XYplorer to always show full path in the Address Bar?

Is there a way to force XYplorer to always show full paths in the Address Bar?
For example, I don't want to see:
Code: Select all
michaelbeijer\OneDrive\Business\Clients\RENATESCHIPPER\2014-2015\_NEW\Persbericht (ProductWorld)\DELIVERY
I always want to see:
Code: Select all
C:\Users\michaelbeijer\OneDrive\Business\Clients\RENATESCHIPPER\2014-2015\_NEW\Persbericht (ProductWorld)\DELIVERY
When I am in a folder, and want to quickly copy its path, I always have to back up into the parent folder, right-click on the folder I just exited, and click Ctrl+P. If XYplorer could show the full path in the Address Bar, I could just copy it out of there in the first place.

It would be nice to be able to get the absolute path to other stuff more easily as well, such as when you "right-click > Copy path" in a paper folder. With nothing selected, you get
Code: Select all
paper:sublime_projects\Sublime_projects
but I want
Code: Select all
C:\Users\aliteralmind\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\Paper\sublime_projects\Sublime_projects.txt
(I know there are alternatives, such as with replacing "paper:" with "<xypaper>".)

Right-click folder in tree, select Copy Path: copies the full path.

@admin: But this only works if I you have "Show the 64-bit context menu" unchecked. However, I want to use the 64-bit context menu.

OK, I could add "Copy Full Path" to the Address Bar icon's context menu. OK?

That would be cool! Yes please!
However, I also devised a workaround.
If I change all my Favourites from:
Code: Select all
"OneDrive" michaelbeijer\OneDrive\
"Clients" michaelbeijer\OneDrive\Business\Clients\
"Taxes" michaelbeijer\OneDrive\Business\Taxes\
to
Code: Select all
"OneDrive" C:\Users\michaelbeijer\OneDrive\
"Clients" C:\Users\michaelbeijer\OneDrive\Business\Clients\
"Taxes" C:\Users\michaelbeijer\OneDrive\Business\Taxes\
… the full path will always be in the Address Bar.

You could add a catalog entry/custom toolbar button
(or even a favorite menu item) with a simple script:
Or perhaps a more informative one:
Code: Select all
copytext <curpath>; status "current path copied to clipboard: <clipboard>";

You'll find that easier to do if you goto Tools->List Management->Favorite Folders and click the pencil button, or press F6, in the dialog that opens.

Yeah, thanks, I was actually already doing it that way, but by right-clicking on the yellow Favourites star icon, selecting "Customize", and clicking the pencil!
Very cool feature btw!

I suggest 'Copy Real Path' for consistency with the BC Bar. And just like the BC Bar, only show that option when applicable.
Righty, thanks.
