Possible to have title bar display full file path?

Is it possible to have the title bar display the full file path rather than just the filename?

Is this what you are talking about?

If so, this is how to do it

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt01 = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

bivariate( x( :height ), y( :weight ) );

// Once the report is generated, this JSL will change the title 
// to the path
thePath = dt01 << get path;
Current Report()[Outline Box( 1 )] << set title( thePath );

@txnelson

That answers my question in the case of a report, but can it be done for a data table? Ideally I'd the Windows title bar to display the full file path and filename.

The Windows title bar for a data table only lists the table name. Given that, you technically can change the name of your data table to be the complete path

Here's a slightly flawed solution:

dt = Open( "$sample_data/big class.jmp", Invisible );
New Window( dt << getpath, dt << New Data Box );

The window has a small space above.
The window thinks it is a report, not a table. The needs-to-save check does not work right.
When the window is closed, the invisible table remains open. You might add an OnClose to fix that.
