By default the finder on Mac OSX does not show the full file path of the current folder. This can make it hard to remember where a folder is, and can cause confusion when working with multiple folders with the same name.

Fortunately, there is a simple fix that will show the full file path in the finder’s title bar.

In the terminal type

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool true

And then to restart the finder

killall Finder

After that the folders full path will be displayed in the title of the finder.
