Feature Tip - OS X ; unscripted

First tutorial

A quick tip about a feature in the Mac's OS that applies to most documents that will help you navigate to documents from *most* Mac applications (notable exceptions are Garageband and Final Cut.)

This feature is apparently "little known" even to a lot of long-time Mac users.

What I didn't say in the video: the same feature is available in Finder windows as well, which helps out considerably in navigating UP the path chain without having to start at the top of the disk and work back down. This feature is very useful when looking for *related* files that are currently not open in the application -- you won't need to minimize your work to get into the Finder since it will automatically be brought to the front when an enclosing directory is selected from the dropdown menu.

Hopefully this tutorial will be the first of many to come, concentrating, most likely on Photoshop, with a mixture of Motion, Final Cut; and with Logic for the audio side.
