How to get the directory information in the workspace of Light Table?


enter image description here

Opening recent workspace shows the directories and files that I opened before, then how to get the directory location of them? I tried right click, but I see no information.

I expect something like this from Code Runner.

    Light Table doesn't provide that info as you expect.

    I agree that that would be a really useful feature, especially when you have multiple directories with the same name in different paths.

    Maybe a tooltip when you hover over a directory that shows the full path would be the minimal change that would be helpful.

    If you're willing to contribute, or know someone that is, feel free to create new issues in the GitHub repo for each of the Code Runner features you'd like to be implemented. Otherwise, add them to the feature wishlist wiki page.

    These features could be implemented as plugins but I think some of them might arguably be fine implemented in the core app code. Pull requests welcome!
