A little more digging shows that we already have this logged on our bugtracker: https://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1119
It is a P3 bug - so it gets Release Noted.
Have a try with the workaround I suggested in Comment #13 of that bug thread:
… if you right click on the Audacity icon in the Task bar at the bottom of the Mac screen, you can then select "Show All Windows". This will display all open Audacity project windows enabling to choose any one by clicking it.

Re: Get File Info for the active project?
Wow, Audacity people are on the ball.
Thanks Waxy Cylinder and Peter for looking into these and for suggesting the workarounds.
Yes please, Peter. Do add my vote to Store Undo history in the AUP file. That would be a really handy feature.

We are one-and-the-same - Waxcylinder is the nomme de guerre that I adopted when I first came yo this Forum 12 years ago when I was a novice user who needed help
Done - plus I added mine for the export method

Re: Get File Info for the active project?
Many (but by no means all) Mac applications display a document icon beside the file name in the title bar of the window. Right-clicking on that icon (or the file name) shows the file path to the document. To see this, open TextEdit, edit and save a document, then right-click on the document icon or file name.
It would be nice if Audacity could do that.
