Its been two weeks now since I have been using OS X and I find it an extremely stable and interactive operating system to use.
One of my gripes while using it was that in Finder window, there was no displaying of the path from the root to the current folder or file, something I find useful sometimes.
Turns out, you have to write the following command in Terminal to activate the display of the path in the top of the Finder window:
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES
Press return after typing the above line, hold down the ‘option’ key and right click on the Finder in Dock and click relaunch. To undo the change just replace the YES with NO in the above line and do the whole procedure again.

coooool… I’ve been searching for it since long time ago xD
but how to make the path string could be doing “copy” and “paste”??
awesome post, just what I was looking for and this was the top hit in Google,
peace,
omg, ure a life saviour
It’s good to be able to see the path, but I want to be able to copy and paste it. Seems a pretty simple request of a so called ‘file manager’.
Do you know if there are any ways of doing this?
