The geekier amongst us and those familiar with Unix should really like this trick. You can have Mac OS X 10.5 display the full directory path in the Finder window title bar by issuing a simple command from the Terminal.

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES

Then youâ ‚¬ „¢ll want to kill the Finder for changes to take effect:

killall Finder

and the result looks like this:

To disable the full path title bars and revert back to the default, simply repeat the command with NO instead of YES as the operator:

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool NO

killall Finder

• Mac ::: Safari 3.1 and the hidden Tabs setting
• 10.5 ::: Dock pinning
• 10.5 ::: Time Machine and external disks
