[X4U] Get Info or Show Inspector?

[Mark Des Cotes]

Hi all,

Just curious, When you do a Control-Click (Right Click if you have  
that option) you can see "Get Info" amongst the list. If you press  
the Option key "Get Info" changes to "Show Inspector" but as far as I  
can tell they both bring up the same information window. What's the  
difference between "Get Info" and "Show Inspector".

Actually, the same thing happens when you use the file menu. Hold the  
Option key and "GI" becomes "SI"

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but with so many different  
shortcuts and key commands there are always some that slip through my  
memory cracks. For those looking for a way to have certain files  
types always open with the same Applications, if you hold the Option  
key "Open With" becomes "Always Open With" Which saves you the  
trouble of Getting Info in the first place.

Thanks

Oh, yes. I'm on 10.4.6 just in case that makes a difference.
