Cmd-Click on Window Title should show file location

[svicalifornia]

Command-clicking on a document window's title text should show the filesystem path to the document in a drop-down menu (see attached). Choosing any location from the menu should open that location in the Finder, for quick access to other files in that location.

 

This has been a system-wide Mac OS convention since the early '90s. You'll find it on just about every app that deals with documents, with the notable and disappointing exception of Affinity Designer.

 

Apple documents the expected behavior here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/WinPanel/Tasks/SettingWindowTitle.html

 

 

 

By default, a Command-click or Control-click on the rectangle containing a window’s document icon button and title will show a path popup.

 

Though it may seem like an unimportant feature, it is second-nature to many Mac users, and every one of us who needs to locate an open Designer file in the Finder will be cursing Serif for the lack of this feature as they manually hunt around for the file. It's just not good business to annoy your users in this fashion when a much easier solution is practically given to you by the OS.

 

Please remedy this as soon as possible.

Hi svicalifornia,

Thanks for your feedback. This feature wasn't implemented but it's not exactly a bug. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section.

Meanwhile you can go to menu File ▸ Reveal in Finder... to open the folder where the document is located.
