Did you know that you can click and drag the little folder icon in a Finder window’s title bar to copy/move the folder to another location?
A secondary click on the title or the folder icon brings up a context menu listing the parent folders of the currently selected folder.
When you need to save a file with a name that is close to a name you already have in that folder, just click on one of the grayed-out file names in the folder and that name will appear in the Save as… box. So now you need only a minor adjustment to complete the new name. Works in any program AFAIK.
Go to the view menu in the Finder and select View Path Bar to show exactly where your current folder lives. And there’s more: control or right-click on any item in this location list to perform functions on it. Never lose your way on your badly-organised work network again!
