Description

Thank you so much for making this awesome software. It is a must-have for me now.

It would be even better if more file information is displayed. To be more precise, I suggest that date informtion (creation date and last modified date), size of file, and checksum (MD5, SHA1, SHA256), etc., be displayed.

Notice that some of these features are already supported, but only when the file type is not supported to preview (i.e. shown right to the icon). I would like

  1. more features like checksum capabilities to be included
  2. all the info also to be displayed when the file format is supported in the preview, alongside the preview area

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing file information shown for unsupported preview formats and how the supported preview area is assembled. The work is done when creation and modification dates, file size, and the requested checksums are displayed alongside supported previews as well as unsupported files.
