10.4: Show path to the Finder's Toolbar items
Don't seems to work for me...
10.4: Show path to the Finder's Toolbar items
Maybe there's a misunderstanding. The toolbar items MosanKhan refers to are files/folders that you add using "customise toolbar". Open that sheet for a Finder window, then add an item from the desktop or another Finder window by dragging it to the toolbar of the window you customise. Drop it somewhere between the gear menu button and the search field. When you hover the mouse over such item, you do get the path. The initial display starts from the volume the items resides on, down the hierarchy. Alternatively, when you hold down the command key, you get the unix path starting at the root level of the system.

In Tiger, and I think in Panther as well, it's not necessary to open "Customize Toolbar" to add files or folders to a Finder window toolbar. Just drag and drop items onto the toolbar.

In Tiger I can ad and remove without opening the Customize Toolbar option, but to get it in I need to Option-drag to ad and to remove I need to Command-drag.

Doesn't seem to work for me either, but I added a 'Path' button in my Finder windows (from View > Customize Toolbar) so I don't have to hold the Command-key anymore.

It doesn't seem to be a "hidden key combination" since you know that you can hold the command and click the folder in the window. Besides, that command-click thing works in Safari too...: click on the titel of the webpage at the top of Safari and you'll get all "subdirectories" of that webpage.

Doesn't work also for me, but if you want the Path, you can also clic the Little icon in the topbar of a finder windows while pressing the command (apple ) key. This tip work also in Safari to know where U are in the Website.

I think this works in Panther too.

If you press the alt key, it pops up right away.

The path shown is in shown in a nice way for non-experts (for instance "Macintosh HD ? Users ? Mom ? Desktop"). To obtain a Unixlike path just press command once the path has popped up (which would turn the example into "/Users/Mom/Desktop").

The author was careful to write Toolbar and not Titlebar.
10.4: Show path to the Finder's Toolbar items
Does anyone figured out how I can copy the Path of any file or directory into the clipboard in Finder? |
