View the metadata in the Finder
Authored by: Nyhthawk on Jun 27, '05 01:20:52PM
BTW, you don't need to open the Terminal app to view the metadata. Use the display dialog command to view the data in the Finder! Change the script in the AppleScript action to this:

on run {input, parameters}
	repeat with i in input
		set this_script to "mdls " & quoted form of (POSIX path of (i as alias))
		set this_result to do shell script this_script
		display dialog this_result
	end repeat
	return input
end run

I like the idea of a dialog, but the formating is not very good (many items are on multiple lines) and in the end, it does not fit in a 17" power book screen.
