Yancka Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Is there an option to see full address/path of current file? By default it displays only file name with extension. For example, I see "Johns house.vwx" in the documents title bar but would like to see "HDD Name/Projects/2010/John/Johns house.vwx". Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 On a mac you right click (or control-click) on the title in the banner on the top of the window. It doesn't work if the file has never been saved. hth michaelk Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) Michael, great tip! I have often wanted that info without invoking a finder window. But in my system, one has to click on the VW icon, which is grayed out just to the left of the file name text. Clicking on the text or elsewhere in the banner bar has no effect. Except the red yellow green buttons, of course. And, Duh! this is typ throughout Mac OS files. Live and Learn. -B Edited May 29, 2010 by Benson Shaw Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 If you do it on Safari pages is also shows the navigation path of the website you're visiting. It's probably been there since the beginning of OSX, but I only figured it out a couple years ago. There must be a similar function in Windows. michaelk Quote Link to comment
Yancka Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) This works on one Mac and doesn't work on other. Both Macs have same OS version (10.5.8). This doesn't work only for VW files but works for other applications (tried Safari and Excel), so I assume this is related with some VW preferences... any idea? Update: I switched worskpaces from mine to Standard and then back to mine - and now it's working! Edited June 3, 2010 by Yancka Quote Link to comment
