Customized Inspector pane

Just wondering if there has been any progress with this issue? The ability to have a customised information/inspector pane would be super useful, instead of having to switch between a few to find the info you want.

No, there is nothing to report.

Would have been nice to have this in DT4…

If it was simply accomplished, perhaps it would have been. There is a lot going on under-the-hood with inspectors. It’s not just a static view of some information in the indexed. Much of it is dynamically displayed, adding to the overhead. Combining inspectors in certain ways could certainly adversely affect the application’s performance.

Yes, understood. But it would be so good…imagine the customisation you could do. The information panel could be tailored to suit a range of requirements. Please keep this request in mind :slight_smile:

Yes, the request is noted.

I would like to show support to this request. I understand that it isn’t easy to achieve, but the Inspectors are one of the power features of DT and the option to customize would further strengthen this.

BTW:
The Tools > Get Info popover can be detached in version 4 and used next to the inspectors in main/document windows.

That just shows the info pane. Perhaps useful to some, but it wouldn’t help with what is being asked for here.

Actually supports Info > Generic, Info > Data, Info > Properties and Info > Annotations & Reminder inspectors.

That really is an improvement. And of course no one would object if it also worked with DT3 :innocent:
