In fact, you only have one Inspector Window. So now I see the information for this file that's selected. It doesn't still show the information from that original file selection. If I go to select this image instead notice it changes. But the other, very important difference, is that what this shows will change depending upon what I have selected. So that kind of makes it easier to always have that on top as, say, you move windows around like this. If I were to select this window here notice how when I drag it this Info Window or the Inspector Window remains on top of the Finder window. It all just appears basically be the same thing as the Get Info Window. Then it shows the same info below that, Tags, all of these different sections are the same. It shows the same title up here although you may notice that the title area is smaller. Now when I bring this up, at first it doesn't seem any different than the Get Info Window. If I go to File, Get Info but this time hold down the Option Key you can see it changes to Show Inspector with the keyboard shortcut Option Command i. So, here's the third variation on the Get Info Window. Showing the info for those four items that were selected before. If I select some other files here this stays the same. It will go behind another window if I select it. But other than that it works just like a regular Get Info Window. This is a handy way to find out how much space a group of files takes up. Then all of the sections here will show you only combined information. How many items there are and the total amount of space they're using. Now if I select that with four files selected it will show multiple item info here at the top. The keyboard shortcut, since I'm holding down the Control Key, is Control Command i. You can see Get Info changes to Get Summary Info. So the first variation I want to show you is if you go to File, Get Info but this time you hold down the Control Key. These are more useful when you're dealing with multiple files or just wanted to get info on various files without having to open up an Info Window, Close it, select another file, Open again, Close, and so on. That's the way the standard Get Info Window works.īut there are two other variations of this window. In fact, if I close both of these and say I want to get info on these four files here and use Command i it is going to open four different windows. So if you want to get info on a lot of files you're going to have a lot of these little windows open. Each one of these showing the information for the file that was selected when you choose that file. Now if you want to get information about another file you would select that file, like that, and do Command i or File, Get Info, and then you have a second window here. So you can open and close these sections as you need and it will remember that and show you that in the Info window. You see Sharing and Permissions as the last one. You've got a Preview area and some file types, like in Image here, will give you a preview. Open With, and you can set the default app to open this file. You've got Comments, if you want to see that. Here's the name again but this time in an editable window so you can actually change the name here. Each one of these gives you more and more information. So in this case it is an image so you can see things like Dimensions, the color space, whether there is an output channel, all sorts of things like that. This may change depending on the type of file. Under More Info you can see lots of other information. The first one, General, gives you information like the Kind, More Detail about the size, where it is located, the date it was created, and such. You can reveal these different sections with the little Disclosure triangle here on the left. You can see any Tags that are associated with that file. At the top you see the name of the file you've selected and the word Info and then you see its icon, you see the name, you see the file size here, the last modified date. I can go to File, Get Info, and you can see the keyboard shortcut is Command i, and it brings up this window here. So, for instance, I can select this file here. So in the Finder on your Mac you can choose a File and then use Command i or File, Get Info to get all sorts of information about the file you've selected.
