[feature request] Showing the path above the 2 panels #2805

Open

Description

@InfoLibre

When one use Nemo with two panels, the path of the two folders are only above the first panel. Users are lost, they never know in which path they are in each panel and one must always click and activate a panel to see the corresponding path.

Even I understand that it's difficult to find the place where to do it, could you show the path above each panel when 2 panels are used ?

Activation of panel would not be necessary anymore too.

    The path shown is that of the active or selected panel.
    I'd like to see a more distinct background on the two panels.

    One alternative is to open two windows or two (or more) tabs in one window.

    Not really user friendly too. Why not simply showing the path of each panel, like in all other files managers that have two panels ?

    In MATE, the path is above the 2 panels, it's great :

    I would also like to have the option to show the path of the second panel. In my opinion, this should just be an option that can be toggled to whatever of the two you prefer.

    Another solution would be to split the panel horizontally rather than vertically. It would then be easy to display the path above the two panels. And this would make more sense now that we can use tabs within each panel.
