Full Path Titles in Finder Windows

I’ve wanted this for a while. I guess it’s new for Leopard.

A Leopard Finder window displaying the path in its title bar

To turn it on, run the following command and then restart Finder.


defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES

It’s not perfect. If the path exceeds the available space, an ellipsis is used — on the right, eww!
