Display the full path of images on the main window GUI on an easy to spot way, a simple read-only QLabel or QLineEdit will do just fine, but currently theres no way to quickly see the full path of a local image on the UI. Currently is only possible to display the Filename only on-mouse-over. This is an Usability Bug. This is easy to implement.
Yeah, this would be nice. Maybe a Settings item that put the full path in the titlebar. Since you seem to have some programming knowledge, would you like to come up with a patch?
Id really love to, but I only know Python (that comment is based on PyQt5), ill cause more Bugs than Fixes ;P
You might be surprised! I'm rubbish at C++, but practice makes perfect, and you can often get pretty far by finding the code that already doing what you want elsewhere and shimming it in.
I'm not sure whether I understand you correctly, but as far as I can see we already show all information in the UI: - In Browse mode, the folder is visible in the URL bar (note that you can also set it into "editing" mode). - In Browse mode, the full filename can be accessed from the Information sidebar, which was built exactly for this purpose and without resorting to mouse-over. - In View mode, we don't want to show the full path in the window title, because then in the taskbar most Gwenview windows would show the same title with the more important filename part cut off (and we don't want to make that an option either, because Gwenview should stay simple enough with only the most relevant options). - In View mode, there is also the sidebar, and quickly accessing the URL bar can be done by pressing Enter (press Enter again to go back). - In both Browse and View mode, Edit → Copy will quickly copy the full path to the clipboard. @juan: Please let us know about your exact use cases, so we can better understand what you actually want to achieve (i.e. describe the root problem, opposed to proposing a solution).

NO full path of the image on the main window GUI on an easy to spot way. Because I have to paste it to see it full. Think of repetitive use, when you have to check several photos, on a quick and easy way, just a QLineEdit read-only that can be show/hide from config is more than Ok. I know the file name and folder are somewhere on the GUI, but fragmented and hidden, instead of full path easy to quickly see and copy on 1 click. I dont know if "its on the title bar" counts because if its too long the path will cut off. The filename is on the sidebar, but kinda needs more clicks to reach, you can fix this by having the full file path right upfront on the sidebar too. Filename only wont work, because usually you have several photos with similar name. Folder name only wont work, because usually you have several photos with similar name but different file extension, on the same folder. I have a 50" LCD so I dont care the space on screen taken by 1 QLineEdit. Most of people have > 1024x768px nowadays too.
Thanks for the update; changing status.

Would it be helpful to you if there was a setting to display the full path in the title bar in combination with a button in the side bar that would allow you to copy the path?
Hey, i would like to work on this issue

Sounds great, go ahead! You don't need to ask permission, FWIW.
