Terminal Tip Tuesday - Show the Path in Finder

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES

If you aren't seeing the path, rebot your computer or type the command "killall Finder" (without quotes)

If this is something you want reverted to the way it was before, replace YES with NO

how do you put your dock over on the side?

@benitodrums1 It was a past terminal tip. /watch?v=V9cd0iPSOq4

You could just go to finder click view then click show path bar.

@Timtomri The slash is a little bit more readable if you ask me, but yes that is an option. Thanks for watching.

You can turn on a path menu by right and clicking on any finder and turning it on. No terminal typing needed. Apple has had this a loooonnng time.

@brad1445 I don't prefer the layout in the path bar against the header, but that is surely an option if you so prefer it. Thanks for watching. :D

@ThatSnazzyiPhoneGuy I know this video is old and I remember watching it but now I cannot take out the spaces.

works with os x lion?

[NicSasha]

wallpaper ?

[cateye27]

That's an awesome font in the bottom left of your wallpaper, what is it called, and where can I get it?

[fabioadias]

Can't you just go "Finer > View > Show Path Bar"?

That's what I use and does the trick.

@ExtremeApps if you have a Finder window open go to the menubar and click on View, Show Path Bar (it'll be the 7th one down in the View option.) the path bar will be at the bottom of a Finder window. then you can click on whatever folder on the path that the folder you are in, is in if that made any sense. xD

[ExtremeApps]

Is there any way to make the path clickable, so that you can click somewhere on the path and it'll take you back there, as you can in Windows?

[fabioadias]

Great tip. Thanks.

Download secrets for mac and then go to search secrets and search "path". Once you tick the checkbox which says "show path in title bar", you click quit this which is the same as "Killall Finder" and you should be good to go. :)
