Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac: Is there a way to display the file path in Design View?

Jul 27, 2012 10:23 AM

Tags: #file #dreamweaver #display #document #path #toolbar #dw

Under Windows, DW's Design View shows you the path to the current file, right next to the document tab. I noticed the Mac version omits this handy feature. For those of us who work with lots of similarly named files distinguished only by folders, being able to quickly see what folder we're in is crucial. (see image below -- that's where Windows shows you the path, but is blank in Mac)

Is there something I'm missing, or some way to get that functioning? I know that I can see the path if I switch to Live View, but that is kludgy and breaks my workflow.

    +1 on this one. I've spent too much time already trying to figure out how to add it manually. It used to be there in code and design views in CS5 (see below).Dreamweaver-2.jpg

    I use CoderPlus workspace & tabbed panels.  For me, the file url is on the far right side. See screenshot.

    If you click the "Page Icon" in upper right corner to tile, the URL shows on the left side.

    Nancy O. -- Is that on a Mac or PC?

    Thanks. I am on a Mac, and I don't see the "Page" icon...

    Go to Window > Cascade.

    Nancy, Window > Cascade doesn't seem to do it. Does it matter if we have Application Frame and/or Application Bar turned on or off?

     

    Just to be clear, we are talking about CS6 on a Mac, correct?

    Sorry. I have CS6 on Windows.  Maybe someone with CS6 on Mac will chime in here.
