You can open the symbol using 'H s', then type ':' and type as follows:

    (page-filename (active-page))

The result is in the log window.

If it'll barf, type first

   (use-modules (geda page))

and then the above command.

If your gschem version is old and has no page-filename command, there
is a corresponding deprecated function for this, just type:

   (get-selected-filename)

I don't know how to better do this, the main window already displays
the base name of the file in use in the title. Probably we could
switch to displaying the full name like many editors do. Bug reports
and patches are welcome. The one issue with that is in that you'll
still not see the full name if your window manager trims it if the
name is long enough.

Cheers,
