Mac os X - cmd click file name -> show path to location


Recommended Posts

on most mac os x desktop apps (that use the standard apple GUI-Framework i think) - if you cmd-click (apple + LMB) the filename a popup will show the path to the current window / file.

i would love to see this feature for the file-names / tabs above the main edit-window.

currently it is (only) possible to do "File" -> "Reveal in Finder" in the main Menu

This should be a non brainer. Almost every app has this feature built in. Even the smallest and most simple utils. Affinity needs that!

If this is not possible, the "save as" dialogue should start where the current document is located. The same goes for the export dialogue. If I export a PDF of the document I work on, in over 90% I want to save the PDF in the same folder or a subfolder.

I actually find the current behavior of the export dialog (defaulting to the last folder I exported something to) MUCH more helpful for the projects I've used it with than the behavior requested here would be.  I agree that the behavior you are suggesting would be nice for "Save As", but I would much rather that "Export" be left alone (or at a minimum provide a preference to keep the current behavior).
