10.6: How to see summary Get Info data for multiple files
Authored by: arcticmac on Oct 23, '09 09:59:37AM

I always had the impression that the critical number was related to your screen size - I'd get more info windows before switching to the summary window on my desktop than on my macbook.

For example, on my macbook, the new limit is 7 rows of 4 info windows, and then when I add the 29th item, it goes to the summary info window. On my Mac Pro, I get 60 items (12 rows of 5) before switching to the summary.

That said, I agree that a smaller number would be useful. Perhaps should submit a bug report to apple, and could suggest that they add a button to the "summary info" window that would allow you to expand it to individual info windows. That way the default threshold could be quite small (like 5 or 7), and you could still get the individual windows easily enough if you wanted them.
