With a file in Windows explorer I can right-click 🡒 Properties 🡒[Details] tab to display a number of file properties.

However, that list of properties (name, date created, author etc.) is only a very small subset of the properties that are accessible via

[View] tab 🡒 Add columns 🡒 Choose columns

Is there a way I can view all of the additional properties that are missing from the Property [Details]tab window (or at least all of the non-empty ones), either:

  • Through the property window itself (by adding more fields)
  • Through some other windows explorer native menu

or

  • Through another means like a script with a popup window (less preferred)

but

  • Not by simply using Choose columns to add them directly to the explorer pane

I would find this useful as with a quick glance over a file's properties you would be able to decide which fields contain particularly interesting data to add to the main explorer pane as new filter columns.

    No. The extra details are dependent on the 1/ the file type and 2/ the program used to create the file.

FileMeta for you. You'll love it.

Link to old project page at codeplex.com

Link to new project page at github.com

    It is more preferable to include essential parts of of your post then refer to link :)

  • I thought he would read the manual (documentation) from the link that I gave. And he (or anyone else) should also refer to it (link) if they've really interesting.

    Yeah, and that's the problem with what are effectively link-only answers: Not a year later codeplex seems to be shutting down, project moved to github. I added the link to github, but you should consider at least explaining what FileMeta does. So, even if github should die someday, we will know there was a solution, sometime.
