Yes, it’s called the Path Bar and it’s part of Leopard’s “new” Finder.

I’m not on Leopard yet, but isn’t there also a Finder preference that shows the path to the current window persistently as a horizontal bar across the top of every window? (I presume that works only in the Finder?)

That right-click is so handy!

Leopard makes it easier by also adding this capability via a control-click, aka, right click, on the window’s title.

This isn’t just a Leopard tip, it works in Tiger as well. Also, there’s a path widget you can put in the Finder toolbar, eliminating the need to click the command key.

Thanks for this tip. Actually, this functionality has been around since way before OS X ever showed up. It was in OS 8 and 9 and possibly in 7 but can’t remember. Its a rarely used feature, but a very handy one. When you need it, you really need it.

Cheers!
