How to make the full path appear in the finder title (OS X)

In Windows, the Explorer window shows the full path of the folder in the address bar. It's very handy if you're moving files around with multiple Explorer windows open. It's also very handy to know if you're in the right folder named if multiple folders share the same name. (Like "bin".)

But in Mac OS X, the Finder window doesn't show the full path. Yes, you can add the Path button, and you can add a status bar to show the path, which is clickable. But this is not ideal since in both of those cases, it shows the "friendly" path, not the real path, in the case of mounted volumes. (Of which I deal frequently.)

Also tools like mac pilot, cocktail, a few others, will do it with a checkbox. Some are free,some aren't of course, LOL. BUt that way you don't have to learn or remember the console command, just my .02

I don't think this is quite what you are looking for, but you can also command click the folder on the title bar and it shows you the full path (you can also "pause click drag" the folder from the title bar into the terminal to get a text representation).

Again, probably not what your after, but just incase you didn't know :)
