A lightweight, high-productivity extension for the Visual Studio IDE that injects an interactive file path display into the status bar. This tool is designed for developers who need rapid access to file metadata and paths without navigating through complex IDE menus.

🚀 Features
Selectable Path Display: Unlike static labels, the path is rendered in a borderless, transparent text box. This allows you to highlight specific sections of the path with your mouse and use Ctrl+C to copy individual folder names or sub-paths.
The [ File ] Action Button: A multi-functional control situated next to the path:
Left-Click: Copies the full, formatted path to your clipboard.
Shift + Left-Click: Copies only the file name (e.g., Class1.cs).
Right-Click: Instantly opens Windows File Explorer with the current file selected.
Path Customisation:
[ / ] Toggle: Switch between Windows backslashes (\) and cross-platform forward slashes (/)—ideal for JSON, Docker, or web configurations.
[ Rel ] Toggle: Toggle between the full absolute path and a path relative to your Solution root.
Rich Tooltips: Hover over the path to view the file size (KB) and the last modified date/time.
Theme Aware: Automatically adjusts text colour to remain perfectly readable on Dark, Light, and Blue Visual Studio themes.
