hi,
i'm new to mac os,
i could'nt find a way to show more information on the copy screen the finder opens while copying files.

in Windows 7, there's an option to see more details on the files/folders being copied

if there's no native way of doing so, can anyone recommend some 3rd party util that does....

thanks,

Open Finder, click on "View" at the top, then select "Show View Options". Check off the boxes (options) you wish and click on the tab at the bottom that says use as defaults.

A good free file manager utility for OS X is "muCommander". I use it all the time.

The above quote from the OP, taken literally, is not addressed by that response. But, taken as a whole, and reading between the lines, I think you nailed it. One more thing: that applies more to List View or Cover Flow than Icon or Column View.

I'm not so sure..... I was thinking that the OP wanted the dialogue box that comes up when copying a file to show more information, though I may be mistaken.

Neither was I sure what he was asking? There's really not much that can be configured or changed for copying. That's why I suggested the additional file info. Maybe he'll post back and let us know.

That's what I thought too. But then, like what other info??

Explorer vs. Finder question?
