Having recently switched from Windows to Mac OSX, I was surprised to find features missing that I thought were standard in any modern operating system. For example, in Snow Leopard you could only resize windows using the bottom right corner of the window…why? Thankfully this has been fixed in Lion.
Finder also only shows the current directory in the title, instead of the full path. Here is how you can display the full path in 10.5 and above. Run this from the terminal and restart Finder afterwards:
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES
To disable the feature, run
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool NO
