Display full filepath in videos

I've been messing around with the VLC options to no avail so thought I'd come here.

I have videos stored on a network mapped drive, all organized under subfolders by year, category, etc.

I'd like to have the FULL file path (folders and all) displayed while the videos are playing, however I can't seem to find a way to make this work. The best I can do is get VLC to show just the filename.

Any suggestions? If this isn't possible, can you consider it for a future enhancement?

Hello,
videos are played by VLC and unfortunately I don't know any way to make VLC display the full path name instead of the simple file name.
