I already really dislike that win7 hides the filepath, and lies about it in many cases.
It makes me click on the bar to actually see where I'm at in the filepath, please don't take that design mistake and apply it to the web.
- ndomin 13y agoI hope you've never used a mac in that case. Good luck finding a filepath with them. One of my biggest annoyances with mine right now.
- vitd 13y agoYou can choose "Show Path" from the "View" menu in the Finder. At least it isn't as hard to understand as "Enable origin chip in Omnibox".

- Domenic_S 13y agoHighlight a file in Finder, press command + i. Info pane shows path. Or, drag a file from Finder to the terminal --> terminal prints the full path to the file.
- dublinben 13y agoI think it's quite ironic that you just received four different suggestions of how to solve this problem. None of that would even be necessary if they didn't try to hide the information in the first place.
- aragot 13y agoOne step left until the "recently viewed" filesystem, where paths are a backwards-compatibility bug. That's when you notice you didn't age well...
- jakobe 13y agoApple never showed the path prominently in the first place. Since System 7 you can Cmd-Click the title bar to show a menu with the path, and you can use Cmd-I to show the path in the Info panel. Not including a path bar by default doesn't mean they "try to hide the information", it's just a different UI design.

- Domenic_S 13y agoI hate that copying the domain in a modern browser copies the protocol along with it. Highlight just "google.com", copy. Paste it and what is pasted? "http://google.com/" http://google.com/". Makes dig/whois really annoying.
- Turing_Machine 13y agoRelated: Microsoft's decision to hide file extensions by default was arguably one of the worst UI mistakes of all time, leading to naive users launching coolpic.jpg.exe because all they saw was coolpic.jpg, among many other problems.
