How to know where file is going to be saved?

Question

I have an application that is going to save a file to my MacBook Air El Capitan. Trouble is, I cannot seem to find a way to determine where it's going to save the file in the dialog. How do I find the FULL PATH of where it's going to save it?

The file save dialog appears to give me no way to determine this:

Where is it going to save the file?

You can always see the full (somehow inverted) path by clickin' on the drop-down menu (the current folder name) left to the search filed. — klanomath, Oct 24 '16 at 14:10
Yepp, it's no path like the common cli path. But both are only metaphors... — klanomath, Oct 24 '16 at 14:14

This will allow you to choose which folder/path you need. You can also use the Command - Shift - G to open the dialog to explicitly paste / type in a path.
