10.5: See more file info while browsing with Quick Look

Often I've found myself wanting to see more info about the files I'm viewing with Quick Look. For example, I'd like to see a panel with EXIF information as I'm Quick Look-ing through a folder of RAW images with the arrow keys. Turns out this is easy, using the non-obvious Inspector version of the Get Info panel.

Select a file in the folder of interest, and press Command-Option-I to bring up the floating Inspector version of the Get Info panel -- this displays limited image metadata. Now, bring up Quick Look, and begin skimming through your images with the arrow keys. Both the Quick Look preview and the Get Info panel will update together.
