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"

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.

dfischer 14y ago ↗

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

i don't see this bug...

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 14y 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.
