Displaying the current folder path in Finder’s titlebar on Mac OS X

31 Jul 2009 0 Comments

By default, Mac OS X’s Finder displays just the name of the current folder in its titlebar. To see the path to the folder open in a window, you need to hold down the ⌘ (command) key and click on the Finder’s titlebar icon, then look at the dropdown list of folders.

To enable file paths in Finder’s titlebar, open a new Terminal window and enter this command:

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES

mac-osx-finder-full-path-titlebar-2

To revert the setting, open a new Terminal window and enter this command:

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool NO
