Linux Beginner: How to Display the Full Folder Path in the Title bar with Nautilus

This brief tutorial will show you how to always use the location entry in the title bar with Nautilus in Ubuntu Lucid or Maverick. This is good in that it allows you to see the current folder path in Nautilus. You could also use it to type the location entry instead of using the navigator button on the menu.

 

Getting started:

 

To get started, press Alt-F2 on your keyboard, then type the command below and click Run:

gconf-editor

location_mav_luc

 

Then expand:

apps --> nautilus --> preferences

location_mav_luc_1

 

Put a check mark into the name ‘always_use_location_entry’ and close out.

 

Now take a look. When you open Nautilus, the location entry will always be shown.

 

location_mav_luc_2

 

Thanks for reading and please come back soon.
