how to display path and filename of ea file

[JoachimM]

How can I display the path and filename of an EA file in a diagram. Is there a way to show it with the diagram notes ?
I didn't find any information about this.

You can't do that out of the box. Your only choice is a script to insert a text or note element with the path (which can be retrieved via API). Though I find it strange that someone wants to present a file path in a model.

I have exactly the same "strange" craving. If you work with many many models and extract lots of images for presentations I lost more than once track of where the diagram image came.
A little automated "source" field somewhere would not guarantee that I find the model again, but it would definitely be of help.

Just want to make a point FOR the original request here ;-)

One just needs to know the use case...

I know! That's why I chimed in :-)
I guess the connects string would be a good thing to use, because it also works with "real" databases. Then a new(?) graphical object which get's autofilled needs bo be provided.

Any suggestions on possible solutions here?

Thanks!
