The window title bar now includes the folder icon next to its name. This icon can be used just as any folder icon can be used, without having to first switch to an icon view setting. For example, to create an alias of a folder, click on the folder icon and drag it to the desktop while pressing the Option and Command keys.
You can also copy folders between volumes, duplicate folders, and move folders between folders by using the title bar icon. The title bar icon can also be useful for quickly identifying the folder you are working with.
