Yes: if only they had left the option to show all the folders leading to the
current selection, all sitting in a row where the mostly useless status bar
now resides.

Cmd-up or cmd-opt-up
Also cmd-click on window title bar, just like X.

If the prefs file for these gets corrupted, then they reset to a default
value all the time. Need to replace the finder view prefs.
One limitation that is real (rather than the result of a crash) is that we
can't choose the order of the display in column view (date, size, time,
etc), and, IMHO, it would make sense to for column view to remember the
width of the last column separate from that of all the earlier columns. The
last right-most column is the one that we are loking at and the one most
likely to have long file name we need to read, so let me set the default for
all columns to narrow, and the last column to "wide as you need".
On the brighter-side, they are a long long way improved over the time (just
2 years ago, when they had renamed the "Finder" to "Desktop" !!!
