Finder has always been crap. When Windows Vista came out, using Finder was like playing with a toy. IYKYK.[1]

Sadly, it has received effectively zero updates since. The only amazing things about the Finder are column view and QuickLook, both of which we've had forever

For reference, both Windows Vista and QuckLook came out nearly 20 years ago. TWENTY.

  [1]: One example: you could customize it to show fields from your MP3 files, including the artwork, and *edit* the files inline. Some goes for EXIF. macOS, today, won't even show you something as basic the image dimensions (not file size)

That’s just wrong. That’s possible since at least 8 years.

I just took this screenshot in macOS 18, same view (gallery)

In the Menu Bar of the Finder go to View -> Show Preview Options, then you get a dialog where you can select which info should be shown in the preview.

Ok, this is crazy.

1. I open the dialog, "Dimensions" appears (it was already selected)

2. It fails to load the dimensions of a screenshot macOS itself took: https://imgur.com/ufs0UfZ

3. I close the dialog, the new fields disappear

To me this confirms that macOS is still a toy for Apple 20 years later.
