Compass Rose

Does not knowing the entire path while navigating a directory structure bug the willies out of you? It does me.

This works on Mac OS X 10.5. I’m assuming it works with all 10.0 and higher OS. If not, let me know.

While searching the web for a solution to this problem I found this:

$ defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES
$ osascript -e ‘tell app “Finder” to quit’

Then restart Finder from the Dock.

Tired of this? Don’t like how it displays? Here’s how to turn it off:

$ defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool NO

FANTASTIC!!
