Click the window title to reveal the folder path

Folder Path via Windows TitleDid you know the window title or proxy icon could reveal the complete folder path for an object? You can do this to reveal a list of all the folders between the object and the root level. Mac OS X allows you to click on any folder in this list to make Finder open the folder. Here’s how.

Simply Command+Click, Control+Click or Right Click the window title or proxy icon (the little icon next to the title) in the title bar to make Mac OS X reveal a list showing the folder hierarchy on your hard drive.

Let’s say you have a special project folder and are working on a file that is stored within that folder. As you work, you may need to view or open other project files from the same folder. You could Command+Click the window title and click on a folder to have Finder open the folder for you.
