Description
Prints an html comment in the footer of every page letting you know which template file of your theme was used for the display.
This plugin is aimed towards theme developers and for theme support. It is recommended to only have this plugin activated during development or support as it will expose your file system path structure.
Props to Joel Fisher for the idea behind this plugin.

This remains in my standard toolkit for wordpress development. Since it creates a comment in the code, it has zero chance of interfering with my design.
