How can I show the full path to the current file in the mode-line for Spacemacs (Spaceline)?

Question

I'd like to display the full path instead of just the filename itself.

How can this be done?

So essentially where it says .spacemacs in the below image (seems this mode-line is called "Spaceline"):

Add this to your dotspacemacs/user-config function:

(spaceline-define-segment buffer-id
  (if (buffer-file-name)
      (abbreviate-file-name (buffer-file-name))
      (powerline-buffer-id)))

Just as an alternative: put it in the title bar instead. SPC f e d, edit dotspacemacs/init to change the following value as follows: dotspacemacs-frame-title-format "%f" – Croad Langshan Dec 11 '17 at 21:17
