Get Info Updates in Leopard
The Get Info panel in Leopard’s Finder has some exciting new features. If you wanted to transfer an icon from one file to another in Tiger you had to open a Get Info panel for each file and copy-paste it. Now you can just drag the file to the destination file’s Get Info panel.
The panel also has a proxy icon in its title bar, so you can make a move, copy, or make an alias, right from the panel. Do you think that’s one of the 300 features?
The image for this post is one of the old, lame Get Info panels from Tiger. Notice the total lack of proxy icon.
Did you know you can drag files to the Preview icon in the panel too? You can add files to a folder by dragging them into the folder’s preview in the Finder Get Info panel.
Haven’t upgraded yet? I bet you will after seeing the screencast.

One thing that annoys me about the new Info window in Leopard is the fact, that you can’t scroll back and forth in video/audio files anymore…bummer, since I used that to quickly checking out tracks from Fnder…

I think ANYTHING they take away is going to annoy some people. For me Quick Look is worth the loss of some of these things. But I’m not arguing Rupert, it’s hard to get used to something being taken away.

Keep your work up *****
