Public bug reported: Wishlist point 1: As shown in the attached image, on right-clicking a file, the full path isn't shown. Sure, double-clicking it, copying it and pasting it somewhere will show the full path. But it'd be a lot more helpful if there were two options provided. 1. To either just show the full path, perhaps within a scrollable window, or to show a button that makes the text expand and display the full path. 2. To have a small copy icon which allows copying the path with a single click, instead of having to double click to select the path, then right click or press Ctrl+C to copy the path. 3. When viewing the properties of a file that's a symlink, the path to the actual file isn't shown. It'd help to show that path too.
Wishlist point 2: From this blog post (https://nrecursions.blogspot.com/2023/02/real-path-to-linked-files.html). In Nautilus and in the Terminal, it'd help to show the full path to files. In Terminal, when we type `pwd`, it'd help to show the path to the symlink file and in the next line, output the full path to the actual file too, instead of having to separately type `realpath fileOrFolderName`.
