Re: [h-e-w] How to full pathname in modeline

[robinows]

 The following code works for me. However, I don't use it
See below:

;; set mode line to show full path of current file
(setq-default mode-line-format
   (list '((buffer-file-name " %f"
              (dired-directory
               dired-directory
                (revert-buffer-function " %b"
               ("%b - Dir:  " default-directory)))))))


 Showing the full path in the mode line is too cluttered for me.
I prefer to show it in the title bar:

;; format title bar to show full path of current file
(setq-default frame-title-format
   (list '((buffer-file-name " %f"
             (dired-directory
              dired-directory
              (revert-buffer-function " %b"
              ("%b - Dir:  " default-directory)))))))


I'm using the cvs version.

I'm trying to get the buffer modeline to display the full file
pathname.
