Unity+Nautilus: How to get the current path as string

[lptr]

Hi out there,

maybe anyone found a solution to this? I regularly need to have complete (mostly very long) path names. In the past (Gnome2) I took this from navigating with nautilus to target folder copying the complete line from address bar.

As it seems address bar is gone, this is not possible anymore.

Any solution to this?

Did you try Ctrl+l in nautilus?

Go up to the top hover over "Go' then find "Location"

That will give you that classic url style navigation bar, or you could just use PCManFM like I do XD Much much more responsives system with out Nautilus running in the background.

Ah ! Found it myself.

Shortcut Ctrl-L does switch to navigation bar containing complete path.

Would be nice to have this activated through mouse anyhow.

Did you see my post on how to do with mouse?

Thanks for reply. No I did not. My previous post overlapped with both other posts.

Last year I 'played' around with Unity somewhat on a netbook I bought for vacation.

Since Monday however I started working with it. A small but significant shift. I find Unity not that bad (compared to others). Many things are very different, yes. Hard to find for those working for years with Gnome or KDE.

...also just right clicking on the file or folder and selecting copy
will enable you to paste the path into a text editor.
You can do the same with the location buttons.

No. We are writing in parallel as it seems

Funny. Having another spot. Now I'm 'just' having that address bar. How to revert to this other 'button style' navigation?

Thanks. That's valuable!
