    How do I get the full path for a file in finder?

    `defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES`
    then
    `killall Finder`

    This will display the full path in the titlebar.

    ![path][1]

    to turn it back off change the -bool `YES` to `NO`

    Or if you want to copy the text of the path you can drag the file into Terminal.
