I saw this early on in Mountain Lion, but forgot to add it as a hint (and I'm surprised no one has submitted it yet). One of the interesting features in 10.8 is the ability to rename files from the title bar. To do this, hover your cursor over a title bar, then, when the small downward-pointing arrow displays to the right of the name, click on it and choose Rename... The name in the title bar will become highlighted, and you can rename it.

Rename files from the title bar
To be accurate, this feature is not universal .. it needs to be programmed into the application ... it works in Pages, for example, but not Photoshop CS6 (or even TextWrangler) ..
Rename files from the title bar
It sounds like the opposite 'face' of being able to rename an open file while in the Finder - and having the new name correctly reflected in the document when you returned to the application. Not all applications supported this feature either. For dating purposes, I think I probably first read about this change back in Snow Leopard's glory days. I don't think it was as recent as Lion.

No, this isn't in Lion. ---

Rename files from the title bar - removed a feature
I hate this, by adding this functionality (which is nice to have of course)

For me in TextEdit, control clicking or command clicking the file's toolbar icon shows the file's folder hierarchy. Clicking on one of the listed folders opens the folder in Finder.

Not to fear: You can still right-click (ctrl-click, two-finger tap) on the title of a file and get the folder path.

AFAICT, you don't have to move all the way over to the little arrow. Just click anywhere on the file name to bring up that contextual menu. |
