File Path On Footer

Displays the full path of the current file at the top or bottom of the editor in Visual Studio/SSMS.

Click here to download the extension from Visual Studio Marketplace.

Configure options such as path format, trailing folders, directory separators, alignment, spacing, and internal/generated file handling. Click behaviors: Ctrl+Click or double right-click to open the containing folder, right-click to copy the full path.

Visual Studio themes are supported, Don’t have additional themes for Visual Studio, then you can get more themes from Visual Studio Marketplace.

This will be very helpful if you are working on files which is having similar and or same name. Visual Studio IDE already shows the file path when you hover the mouse over the document tab but I like to see the file name always on bottom of editor.
