The Get Info window can change moved files

I discovered a great thing with the Finder's Get Information (Command-I) window. If you select a group of files and query the info window, you'll have a "group info window." Now, go back to your files' window, move some (to another destination, folder, etc) but let the info window open.
As this window still presents the information for all the files you selected, try to modify an element (lock, open with, etc.). It works ! Even if you had embedded your files into the latest folder of your deeper hierarchy, the settings for that file will be changed.
