In response to a recent Mac Gem, there is an even easier way to export the path to the current folder from the Finder: You can click on the icon next to the finder window name and then drag and drop it to your favourite text editor, or even Terminal. This also works with files in the Finder window.

Export folder path from Finder via the proxy icon
This only works for me using Terminal - not with either TextEdit or BBEdit.
Export folder path from Finder via the proxy icon
As I mentioned in the discussion thread for that Mac Gems article, this works with Terminal and TextEdit (only for plain-text docs) because it's a special feature of those apps. It doesn't work in other shell/terminal apps (iTerm, WidgetTerm, etc.) or text editors (BBEdit, etc.)
Export folder path from Finder via the proxy icon
Yeah, TextEdit has to be in plain-text mode for it to work, and it does work in Terminal. Wish this hint was posted yesterday, as I had to type out a long path from our fileserver into an email.

Export folder path from Finder via the proxy icon
Drag-and-drop the icon of any file, folder or volume on to an open SubEthaEdit file in any mode to get the path.
