I also notice that TextEdit is A LOT slower now thanks to Versions. The app used to open instantly. Now it takes a few seconds to launch or quit.

Where is this "Show item preview" located? I can only find "Show icon preview"

tl• 15 years ago

I think it is "show icon preview" considering that "use as default" that he also mentions is right below it.

Sorry, a typo. It's "show item info."

It would be nice if he specified what version of OS X.

dfischer3• 15 years ago

OS X Lion. I've noticed it in Snow Leopard too.

i don't see this bug...

cschep• 15 years ago

No repro.

OP here. I had a typo in my blog post. It's "show item info" not "show item preview."

is it recursively indexing a large number of folders to determine the item counts for the info?

udfalkso• 15 years ago

Note that "Show item info" only shows up if the current folder you're viewing is in icon view.

I haven't seen this either, then again I have a fairly clean desktop and a highly structured folders. Perhaps a scale issue, I didn't notice where the author made any comments with the number of items Finder was rendering.
