IrfanView

Show the Image's Full Path in the Title Bar

SUMMARY: If you manipulate or view images in multiple directories, keep track of their file locations inside IrfanView.

Normally when you load an image into IrfanView for viewing or editing, only the actual filename of the image is displayed in the program's title bar. However, what if you work with images across several directories and need to have the image's full path in the title bar as well?

1. From IrfanView, choose "Options" - "Properties".

2. When the "Properties/Settings" dialog box appears, select "Viewing".

3. Check "Show full file path in the title bar".

4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
