Informator provides much more file information and file meta data than the
Finder Get Info window

Informator is the fastest and most simple way to get informtion about your files.
You will be surprised, which huge amount of information could be viewed directly in the Finder without opening files in other applications like image processors, media management applications or special editors.

Properies
The most important file information can be found on the top of the Informator window:
The file name, its icon, the label and properties like locked, stationary and the permissions.

The second area shows you the opening application, some less important properties like "Has Custom Icon" and the permissions in a more detailed form.

The following area is called "Information area" and separated into 7 parts
