Here at MacEdge we are big fans of the Mac’s window proxy icons. Proxy icons are those little icons that appear in window title bars next to the filename. They’re not just cosmetic, you can use them just like the Finder icon for the open document. You can drag one to other apps to interact with those apps. Also use them in mail to attach the document to a message. Drag them to a Web browser to upload it, or to any other location you can drag a document’s icon in the Finder. Just drag a proxy icon for a folder from the title bar of its Finder window to Open and Save dialogs to navigate to the folder.
In macOS 11 Big Sur, Apple hid the proxy icon until you moused over the filename. Now starting in macOS 12 Monterey, the company provided an option to show them all the time. To enable it, select System Settings > Accessibility > Display > Show window title icons. Proxy icons can save time in a variety of ways, click here for an article from 2010 that is still relevant.
