Drag and drop from the title bar

Here's a Mac tip that allows you to drag and drop an open file without having to find it in the Finder first. In the title bar, there is a little icon to the left of the file name (see the image below). You can click on that icon and drag it where ever you like; into another application, onto your desktop, any place that you would normally drop something.
