Show Full File Path

I have no luck locating the full file path to a Photoshop document in CS5. I have tried hovering my cursor over the short title in the tab for the document, but I only get the name of the document.
I am on XP Professional.
I don't have this problem on another computer which I use that runs Vista.

Hi Noel,
Thanks for the help. I am refering to documents opened from disk, not new documents. I ended up writting a script that I have a hotkey assigned to that brings up an alert dialog with the path to the file on disk:
The whole issue is: I have opened a bunch of files in PS, some may be duplicate images in different locations, or "I just want to know where [on disk] this image is that I am working on" without having to close-reopen, go to the recent list, or other series of steps. I know this may sound kinda lame at first look, "Hey doesn't he know where the file is that he just opened?", but working in the games industry I, at times, have many files open or am moving from one [disk] location to another and it is just VERY convenient to have the file path info readily available in PS.
BTW: A cooler windows util for getting/copying the path (in a variety of ways) of a file in windows explorer is the context util called Path Copy: http://download.cnet.com/Path-Copy/3000-2072_4-10036463.html. Which looks like this:

Copy full file path+file name in Midnight Commander

Hi!
How can I copy a file's full path with the file name in Midnight Commander?
If I press Ctrl+Alt+Enter it's shows this to me in the command line but I can't copy this route.
If I mark a file with 'Insert' and than if I would like to paste this for example in Mousepad or any other text editor with Shift+Insert or Ctrl+V it isn't works.
(Relatively newbie sitting here so if the answer is complicated please write a step-by-step instruction )

Well,I did a lot of research on the internet and I found the best solution.
- choose the file,press 'Ctrl' + 'Shift' + 'Enter'
- after that you can see the full file path + the file name in the command line (bottom of the screen)
- Select the text with 'Shift' + 'Mouse Left Click' (drag it across the whole command)
- For copy the text, press 'Ctrl' + 'Insert'
- For paste, press 'Shift' + 'Insert'
This is still pretty damn slow,I wanted to do it with a single key combination while the file is selected but it looks impossible.
But at the same time I have started to use Ranger file manager which is also runs from terminal,extremely fast,easy to use and if I press 'Ctrl' + 'Insert' on a file it is copies the full path with the name of the file itself. Just perfect.
I won't mark the thread [SOLVED] because if anybody knows a better method for this in Midnight Commander (with a script or whatnot) maybe will write it down for us. I hope...

How to get full file path while uploading a file in flex Applications

How to get full file path while uploading a file in flex applications.
FileReference Object is giving file name and other details but not the actual path.
Is there any workaround to to get the file path?.

Why not ask in the Flex forum; it is more likely that someone over there knows.

Full File path of the uploaded fie in struts

How do we get full file path from the FileForm component in Struts upload.
Acutal requirement is that ,
in the file browser component, the user may select a file or he may paste and external link like http://www.xyz.com/abc/index.html etc..,
How do we get the value that is in the input in the File Browser component as it is?
Any help, is highly appreciated.

I don't have a clue, but I would see that as a security threat if I was a user. I don't want to send local path names to a server.

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.

Obtaining the full file path specification from Flash Movie and QuickTime icons?

How do you obtain the full file path specification from Flash
Movie and QuickTime icons? I want the path and the file name that
is contained in these icons. I am using a "dive" to run through the
icons of a file, and when I come upon these two types of icons, I
want to obtain the above information that is contained in them. I
certainly can look in the property dialog box to get this info, but
there are many icons in these files, and I want to generate a list
of info based upon the various types of icons that I am processing.
Thanks

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.

Word 2013 shows full UNC path instead of local "Documents" folder on file Open and Save

Normally Word (and Excel) by default will show the user's local "Documents" folder when opening or saving a file. That is what we want. However, after using Windows Server Folder Redirection to redirect the Documents folder to the network (Windows
Server 2012R2), Word now shows the full UNC path to the network share.
Instead of seeing:
"MyPC Documents"
users see
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Folder redirection is supposed to be transparent to the user. Virtually all our other applications, including Office 2003, respect this convention and continue to show "Documents". As you can see, Word even exposes a hidden share.
Even if we go to File / Options / Save and browse to the local Documents folder as the place Word should open and save files from, Word immediately removes the path you have browsed to, and replaces it with the UNC path.
Is there a way to suppress this behavior? Thanx!
Dana

Hi,
Based on my understanding, you only want others to see some part of path name, rather than full UNC path name. It is right?
It seems that we can’t implement your requirement. When we open a file from “My Pictures”, it shows “My picture” instead of showing the full path “C:\Users\User\Pictures”. “My Picture” is set as a library in Windows, so it hides
full path by design. We can't set \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents as a library.
As a workaround, you can upload these files to OneDrive and share link to others.
If I have anything misunderstood, don't hesitate to tell me.

Full file path in Office 2007 when open or save

Am not sure i can raise this question here.
We are using 10gR2 Application server and Windows 7 as a Client. In the client machine we have installed the Microsoft Office 2007.
From the forms we are trying to open and save (after changes) the files of format Doc/Xls. These files will be stored in separate shared folder accessible through Application server and client.
Now the issue is when we open/save the file it shows the Entire path (In Saving Window) which should not happen. In previous release of MS office its not like this.
Please help us "to hide the file path to be displayed to the user". Like changing the registry for Office 2007 or workarounds or new solutions or any other oracle's product.
Note : Showing the file name is the Office 2007s default behavior.

The only way to avoid showing this from a Forms point of view would be to not display the open/save file dialog in the first place. In other words, control the opening and saving using your own custom dialogs. Also, be aware that using remote drives (network mapped) may cause problems. Generally speaking, doing this would not be considered supported.
As for opening documents on the client, there is no need to use the open file dialog if you know the file name and path to that file in advance. You can simply use WebUtil's CLIENT_HOST. So let's say you wanted to open a file named mySales.doc and you knew its location, all you would need to do is this:
Declare
     my_cmd varchar2(255);
Begin
     my_cmd := 'rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL '|| :t1;
     CLIENT_HOST(my_cmd);
End;In the above example, +:t1+ is a text field on a canvas. The value would include the path and file name to be opened. Of course this could be a pl/sql variable which you programatically populate or any combination of that. The value value must include the full path (with drive letter) and full file name. If the path or name contains spaces, double quotes may likely be necessary. You will have to test.
For saving an opened file, you are mostly out of luck from Forms unless you took control of Word/Excel as it was being opened in the first place. For example you likely can open the Office products using OLE or VB or other macro and control what the open and file save dialogs look like or if they are even accessible at all. But this has nothing to do with Oracle or specifically Forms.
You need to refer to the MS documentation.

Full file Path when using FormFile in struts

hi,
i am uploading an excel file. All is doing fine but whatever file is selected by user by clicking the browse button, its does not retreive full path it retreives only the file name selected......
JSP page

</html:form>when i retrieve this filename and convert it to String its only shows file name and not the full path, as a result it always pick this file name from the current working directory.
how can i get the selected file path ????
Pls help
thanx

What would do a server side program that processes the file upload do with the client side path of the file?
The server side process (your Action class) would receive a stream of bytes (multipart data) that contains the file's contents as well as other info like size, content type etc.

How do I get iTunes to show the file path for music

I am trying to get iTunes to show me where songs are located on my computer, Hoiw do I get this to show up in iTunes? Thank you

Right-click the track in the library, and choose Show in Windows Explorer.
If you were hoping to get the file path displayed in a column, as is possible in Windows Media Player, note that iTunes does not have that ability.

Mozilla takes out path of file - Problem! - need full file path for Upload

There are pages on my site that process the uploading and storing of files (images) from the client's computer, and while IE leaves the full path of the file (like C:\myphotos\jpeg\example.jpg), Mozilla only passes the name of the file (like example.jpg), which is no good! I need to have the full path of the image file in order for it to work.
How do I fix this issue?
Here is a snippet of my servlet code, within the code I commented where the problem occurs...halting my servlet from continuing to process...but only in Mozilla.
List items = upload.parseRequest(request); // Create a list of all uploaded files.
Iterator it = items.iterator(); // Create an iterator to iterate through the list.
while(it.hasNext()) {
     FileItem item = (FileItem)it.next();
        File f = new File(item.getName()); // Create a FileItem object to access the file.
        //THE STATEMENT BELOW HALTS THE REST OF THE SERVLET FROM PROCESSING
        //BECAUSE THE FILE PATH IS INCOMPLETE
     FileInputStream fs = new FileInputStream(f);
//...Any input is appreciated,

According to your post history you've done webapps for more than 2 years. More than enough time to understand how HTTP works and so on. You even had ever posted a topic related to uploading files. Seriously, I am highly surprised.I am a self taught programmer, and yes, I have been learning code, working on my project, for quite some time, but I am not an 'expert' in ALL areas of development/programming, so excuse me if I 'lack' certain knowledge in certain areas. I'm also running/testing on a local machine, obviously, so, like I said in my last post, I didn't realize that that was the ONLY reason IE worked with my code for uploading.
Now getting back to the topic of my post, if we could....I just want to get this problem I'm having fixed asap, so I can continue working on my project. If you will kindly continue to help me, I naturally would appreciate it.
The download page for Apache has been fixed, and I downloaded the commons.io package, the latest. I added the .jar to the appropriate directories, and to my classpath. I must be missing something. I compiled a program and the compilation error says "cannot resolve symbol" on FileFilterUtils. What am I missing or not 'seeing'?

Show full file name in File Open Recent Files menu.

I would like to be able to see the full file name in the File > Open Recent Files menu. With long file names, I cannot differentiate between the file I want to edit and the series of images I exported - they all look the same when truncated. (Mac)

I'm working in CS6 on Windows and wondering exactly the same thing. I usually export PDFs or JPGs of current work using the same or very similar names for tracking purposes but trying to open recent files then becomes a game of trying to figure out which of the various identically-truncated file names actually corresponds to the file I want to reopen.
Is there a way to get Illustrator to display the FULL file name in the Open Recent Files menu?
