Display Full Path in Finder

One thing I hate is not knowing where I am. I had this in Windows, and I still have it OSX.

By default OSX doesn't show the full path in the finder. This is annoying as hell. Especialy when you're having shares called 'Pictures', and the chances are quite big that you might have a local directory called 'Pictures'. You can't tell the difference.

Using the following terminal command, you get the full path in the Finder. So no more 'Pictures', but '/Volumes/Pictures/'

Terminal command:

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES
killall Finder


Simply replace the YES for NO to disable the feature. This is OSX 10.5 or higher only!!
