Thank you for the suggestion. That did not work either. So far I have tried:
defaults write com.devon-technologies.think3 ShowAdditionalInfoInPathBar -string yes
defaults write com.devon-technologies.think3 ShowAdditionalInfoInPathBar -string 'yes'
defaults write com.devon-technologies.think3 ShowAdditionalInfoInPathBar -bool TRUE
defaults write com.devon-technologies.think3 ShowAdditionalInfoInPathBar -string ON
defaults write com.devon-technologies.think3 ShowAdditionalInfoInPathBar -string 'ON'
After shutting down DEVONthink, deleting the entry with
defaults delete com.devon-technologies.think3 ShowAdditionalInfoInPathBar
and adding one of the entries above, and re-launching DEVONthink.
