How do I get the full current path in the title bar of a terminal window?

Is it possible to get the full current path in the title bar of a
terminal window? I would find that more meaningful than
"Terminal - tcsh - 80x60" (which I currently get). Doing
this would free me from wanting to display the path in my
system prompt thereby allowing me to use a shorter prompt
and having more space on the line for actual input.
Thanks

IIRC, Terminal->Window Settings->Window controls that information. That said, I don't understand what full current path means in this context, nor why you'd want to display it in title bar.
Your terminal prompt is a concatenation of your computer name (SysPrefs->Sharing—easily changed) and the path to your user's home directory using the short username (hard to change).
computer name:~ username$

  • How Do I get a portlets actual path using the PRC?

    Greetings,
    I have a .NET application and I want to use a config file(text)to set some variables in my load_page method. I plan on putting the config file in a directory relative to where the portlet lives, but I can not seem to get the string of the actual portlet host. This seems easy enough but I can't figure it out.
    I am using G6.
    Thanks In advance.
    Rich
    P.S. Please don't direct me to tags!

    .NET provides about a bajillion ways of doing this - try...
    (As Chris noted, you can try mappath)
    (or) Request.ApplicationPath
    (or) Request.PhysicalPath
    Keep in mind that if you start playing around with config files I would strongly suggest looking at web.config. It's made for this and also supports the idea of "inherited" properties such that a web.config at a higher level in the IIS directory system can set values you intend to share across all apps (EX: database connection information or whatever) - BUT - the nice thing is you can override those values at a lower level by simply placing the value in a web.config within your apps virtual directory (or you could do any number of other things with an app config).

  • How can I get a full screen shot of the album playing in Itunes 11?

    This was possible in Itunes 10 but I can not find a away to do it in Itunes 11.

    Hi Keith,
    It doesn't have to be a movie.  Snagit, for example can capture the complete browser window as an image which you can then save as a png, jpg, tiff, gif, bmp or snagit document.  That's what I thought the OP wanted so I didn't suggest the built in screen captures.
    Take care,
    ivan
    (To Philo9, I saved this with 80% quality, so it's not the best.  You can save as full quality, png or tiff to get better than this. Click on it to see it full size.)

  • Getting the full file path from FormFile

    Hi, I am reading in a .csv file from my JSP page and I want to pass the String path from my Action class to the logic layer class. When I try and pass it at the moment, it throws an FileNotFound error as it is only passing the file name. i.e
    Passing
    text.csv
    not
    C:\text.csv
    Is there anyway of detirming the full file path using the FormFile class?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, as in Struts.
    I am not trying to upload the file, simply trying to read the contents from the file. My problem is that I want to read the contents from one of my business logic classes, not within my struts Action. I can get it working if I use
    byte[] datainfile = file.getFileData();
    and then send that but the I would prefer to just send the full path to my Business logic class and process everything in there rather than doing some in my Action and some in my logic class.
    So what I would like to put in my Action class is something such as
    processCSVFile(String filePath);
    instead of
    processCSVFile(Byte[] formFile);

  • Display the full file path in title bar

    I apologize for my username. After getting a ton of "username already exists" I went to the keyboard crushing technique to find one that didn't.
    We currently use Adobe Acrobat 9.5.4
    I am assisting a user who would like the full file path of the opened PDF to display in Adobe's title bar. Right now it only displays the file name, as shown below -
    Instead of "Adbove Community_ Start New Discussion.pdf" he would ideally like to have "C:\users\unamehere\desktop\filename.pdf" or the full UNC path like "\\myserver\department\projectnumber\filename.pdf".
    Is this possible? Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

    Tell me about usernames...
    Unfortunately, I don't think there's any control of this. Adobe regularly change what appears, but they don't let us do it.

  • Last month I was 1 day late paying my bill, so I tried to pay the full amount.  But the website would only allow me to pay the current bill amount.  Now, I show a past due amount.  If I tried paying it and Verizon didn't allow me, how is it past due?

    Last month I was 1 day late paying my bill, so I tried to pay the full amount.  But the website would only allow me to pay the current bill amount.  Now, I show a past due amount.  If I tried paying it and Verizon didn't allow me, how is it past due?

    I'm confused - If I go online to pay my bill, and it's one day after the due date, the current bill and full amount due would be the same?  If the current bill is not the "full amount due", then what is the extra amount that's snow showing past due?
    Also, when I go in to pay my bill, I show the Current bill amount, total amount due (which are the same), and then a box where I can type in the amount I am paying, with the default amount being already filled in with the total amount. 
    Is this a pre-paid or a post-paid (contract) account?

  • How can i get itunes to quit skipping to the currently playing song when i'm working on the library somewhere else?

    how can i get itunes to quit skipping to the currently playing song when i'm working on the library somewhere else?

    You might be able to achieve what you want by using Party Shuffle. Set the source for Party Shuffle to be the playlist you want to listen to or add the tracks you want to listen to by control clicking on them and selecting Add to Party Shuffle. Once everything is in Party Shuffle, you can rearrange them to your satisfaction. As the songs are played, they'll roll off the queue. You can quit iTunes and even when you restart, all your songs will be there, in the order you want, waiting for you to hit play.

  • How can I get past recuring snag upgrading to the latest version of Firefox? (I currently have v 3.5.3)

    When I try to install the downloaded update, I get partway through the Install Wizard, then I get a message: "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you wish to reboot now?" If I click "Yes", my laptop reboots; but the version of Firefox is the same and the same thing happens all over again when I try to upgrade. If I click "No", all windows close; and when I try again to install the downloaded upgrade, the same thing happens all over again. P.S. Even when I try to Uninstall Firefox, I get the same message and the same thing happens.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I clicked the full screen choice on the firefox drop down menu and now the firefox icon has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    I used the pull down menu on the firefox icon on the left hand upper corner to create a full a screen. Once the full screen was created the icon disappeared and I cannot go back to regular screen. HELP.

    If you run Firefox in full screen mode then press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle (Mac: command+Shift+F).
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
    *Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    *Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

  • How can i get a full url of video uploaded in asset library on sharepoint 2013

    Hi All,
    I have videos in SharePoint 2013 Asset Library, now i want display that videos in my SharePoint webpage as a webpart.
    Now, how can i get a full url of video uploaded in asset library?
    Thanks in Advance!

    The Asset library does a pretty good job of hiding the full URL. An "asset" item is actually a folder. The folder contains the video and support files like preview thumbnails.
    So, if you upload a video named butterfly.wmv to http://yourSite/sites/demo/Assets the path to the video would be http://yourSite/sites/demo/Assets/butterfly/butterfly.wmv. If the user changed the name while uploading the file to "Pretty bugs"
    the URL would then be http://yourSite/sites/demo/Assets/Pretty%20Bugs/butterfly.wmv.
    Probably the best way to explore these hidden folders and discover the "real" URL is to use SharePoint Designer 2013.
    Launch SharePoint Designer and open your site.
    In the Navigation area click "All Files". (If you don't see All Files then your administrators may have partially locked down SPD.)
    In the list of files and folders click the Assets library.
    Find and click your video (you will see the "Name" as entered in the file's properties, not the file name.)
    Find the video file, right-click it and click Properties.
    Copy the Location.
    If you just want to display the video in the page:
    Edit the page
    Click INSERT
    Click Web Part
    From the Media and Content category select Media Web Part and click Add.
    Edit the web part (click the web part's dropdown)
    From the MEDIA ribbon click Change Media
    Click From SharePoint and navigate to your assets library and pick a video
