File details in status bar into feedbox

Sorry if the subject is somewhere in other place.

My question is about visibility of file details like: size, date, time and attribute into status bar when a selection is active. Let me explain:

After a search action (when I looking for duplicates - for examples) I sent list of found files to the feedbox. In status bar I have some useful information, as I mentioned before. If I select one ore more files/dirs status bar is changed and no more details are shown about the file under cursor.

I consider here more important visibility of detailed property of files in order to have a choice for selecting between two or more file to delete.
For example if I looking for duplicates only with same name, I want to delete older or smallest. I know, if header is set to sort by date or size I can choose first or last.


Return to my question: can be set TC to show details of file under cursor always, even when a selection is made, into status bar?

In brief mode status bar have same behavior and also those informations (file details) can be useful.

You can use custom columns for this, even after "feed to listbox"

Hover the file with the mouse, or define a shortcut to show the tool tip:
[Shortcuts]
C+H=cm_ShowHint

Thanks HolgerK!

Thanks sqa_wizard!

Don't you think is better to show in status bar ?
Space into status bar exist enough, computers are powerful now.

If the space is not enough (if window is not maximized) only size or date can be shown.

I forgot. This is a suggestion.
