No Path display in Spotlight?

When Searching in Spotlight in Snow Leopard, I could hover the cursor over an item in the list shown from its search and it would provide me wiht the path for that item such as Macintosh HD/Users/myuserfolder/documents. 
This does not happen in Lion.  I don't see anything in Spotlight preferences that would change this behaviour so it looks that it is built in to Lion.  Hovering over an item does not produce anything. 
Has anyone else noticed this difference?  Is there a work around?  I can see that Apple would think that we can open the item directly from the search list so why provide the path, but this was useful for me in Snow Leopard.  For instance, if I wanted to attach a document and did not remember where it was placed, I could do a spotlight search and find the path then use that path to choose the item to attach.

Go to the View menu and select "Show Path Bar". Then use the Command-F (Find) form of Spotlight; clicking on a 'found' item will display its path along the bottom of the window.

    when you select an item among the search result its full path is displayed at the bottom of the search window. that's the best you can do.

  • Image path displays instead of image

    Firefox v20.0.1, Win7 32 bit.
    This web page ( http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5336 ) does not display the "flowchart"image at the bottom of the page immediately following the text "The following is a map of other documents..." On a correctly working page, the image is a flowchart "navigation" image that opens new pages depending on where you click on it. In firefox only a box with an ftp path to the image is displayed in its place. I have seen the problem on other web pages as well.
    Actions taken:
    The pages displays correctly in IE v10. This problem happens on one computer. Different computer, same firefox version displays correctly. Different computer older firefox version (v17?) displays correctly.
    * I have tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions.
    * I have created a new profile. Seems like the first time I did this, the page displayed correctly, but when I refreshed (F5) the image is gone and the ftp path box is displayed. Subsequently created new profiles do not display the page correctly.
    * I have tried resetting Firefox and the page still is not displayed correctly.
    Troubleshooting:
    Ctrl-shif-K, opened the Web Console, cleared the console output, refreshed the page by pressing Ctrl-F5. The following is several lines following the first error on the console:

    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • IPhoto 6 does not display correct Spotlight results

    I am new to OS X, and I have not to my knowledge altered any of the default Spotlight/iPhoto options.
    I have a large photo library. When searching through it using spotlight, it finds exactly the results I want. However, when clicking on the result, iPhoto 6 opens and always displays the first photo in my library.
    No matter what I search for or what result I select, iPhoto still shows the same photo - the first in my library.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I'd prefer to use iPhoto and not Preview. Thanks.

    Problem solved. Disconnected from iMac and restated iMac and new album appeared and sync complete!

  • Window display in Spotlight

    Not a huge issue but annoying: when I search in Spotlight and then select Show All, then a Finder window opens with the results. This window always opens very narrow and it's hard to real the results. I resize the window and the columns but then the next search does not remember the resizing. Any fix for this?
    thanks
    Ken

    Hi Gsaasg,
    Include this text in main window itself. So, you will not have to maintain any conditions and also, the text will be displayed only on the first page. The data which is flowing will go to next page and this way you can avoid the printing of your text on second page.
    Thanks,

  • How do I see the full path in Yosemite's spotlight?

    How do I see the full path in Yosemite's spotlight? (cmd shows only partial path)
    Seeing the full path would make work much easier finding my articles which I have put in distinct catalogues.

    CazooMAC,
    Holding ( Command ) to show the path of a file that is displayed at the bottom of the preview pane in Spotlight is the only way to display the path in the Spotlight app its self.
    If you hold ( Command ) and double click the item you are looking to get a path of it will open that items containing folder in Finder. From there you can get the full path using a bunch of different methods. An Example would be using Finders Get Info option. The Keyboard shortcut is ( Command ) ( I ).
    There is another thread that covers the topic of getting a clean path in Finder. Or basically a path that one doesn't have to type out manually, without those little arrows in between folders. It can be found here: How to get a clean file path in OS X Yosemite?
    My Suggestion to get a clean path there is as follows:
    Another way you can get the path, and yes I'm aware its cumbersome, is you can open the "Go to Folder" window and drag your folder or file into it and it will give you the path. Free of modifiers and without opening another application.
    I find it works best if when you start there is no Finder windows open. If you leave one open you just have to open another one as it doesn't let you drag and drop from the one with the "Go to Folder" window in it.
    Finder has to be Active > Select Go ( Menubar ) > Go to Folder...
    Or you can use the keyboard shortcut ( Command ) ( Shift ) ( G )
    At this point I like to clear out the address field as if there is anything in there it will stay.
    Next Open a new Finder window.
    Examples on how to: Select File > New Window, or the keyboard shortcut ( Command ) ( N )
    Find the File or Folder your interested in then drag and drop it in the Address Field of the "Go to Folder" window and it will give you the path.
    If you would like to send Apple feedback about this you can do so here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • How can I make Spotlight show the file path

    How can I make Spotlight show the file path in the Spotlight menu for selected file?

    Via Finder certainly, but not in the menu.  You can view the file path in the Spotlight search results display by pressing the ⌘ key (while hovering over a file in the results), though.  The path will display at the bottom of the Quick Look output, or cycle through that location.

  • How to display the path of selected node of a tree table.

    Hi,
    I have one use case where I have to display the path of node of tree table which is selected one.

  • Want to remove the Navigation path been displayed in Address bar

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem with the url path displayed in the address bar of browser. Whenever i select a tab in TLN the url path changes. Normally it has to be like http://<host name>: <port no>/ portal but for me it is coming http://<hoatname>/<port no>/portal ? NavigationTarget=navurl://<somestring>. Can anyone tell me why it is happening so and how will i get rid of this. I dont want the navigation path to be displayed in the address bar.
    Thanks,
    Nishant Singh

    Navigation method does not depend on image path.
    There are two standard TLN iView in portal (I do not count one from AJAX Framework Page):
    1) Top-Level Navigation is the default one and based on portal component com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel.default and consumes EPCM API.
    2) Light Top-Level Navigation is based on portal component com.sap.portal.navigation.lighttoplevel.LightTopLevelNavigation and uses navigation method by URL.
    I have used a image as background of the LTLN
    Whatever you do with the Light TLN in the area of customizing its style, it will always remains Light Top-Level Navigation with navigation method by URL.
    So the answer to your question is do modify com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel.par instead of  com.sap.portal.navigation.lighttoplevel.par.
    Best regards,

  • How to detect the 'full path' of an open folder

    I often end up with open windows that display the contents of a folder but no path information. One example would be a folder opened from clicking on a 'hit' from a Spotlight search.
    I often don't know where those folders are in the folder hierarchy on my hard disk (and have no desire to create an alias for them).
    Is there a way to quickly determine the path?
    Thanks.

    +You could also add the "Path" item to the toolbar:+
    +1. Open a Finder window.+
    +2. Click View>Customize Toolbar...+
    +3. Drag the "Path" item into the toolbar. It will be added on all Finder windows. To find the path of a folder, just click the icon.+
    Thanks, I didn't know that one. It still requires using the mouse to view the path, but according to Tom X there doesn't seem to be an option in OS X for automatic path display in the window's title bar.

  • Finding file locations in Spotlight

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and love Spotlight's new design, but I can no longer find a file's location on my computer by pressing Option+Command. So what's the new trick for finding file locations?

    Press just the Command key -- the path displays at the bottom of the preview window at the right (not very noticeable especially when there is text going to the bottom of that preview).
    You can also press Command Enter and that will open Finder to the containing folder with the file selected.
    Command i opens the Get Info window with details, but unfortunately it opens behind any open window.
