Click the file, then press Command I or the Space Bar. In some circumstances, the Space Bar will not work appropriately. If you hit these keys fast enough, it will be quicker than hovering over the file.
It will if it's a non-media file like a folder or a document. Media just plays in Quicklook.
Aniday spoke incorrectly. Documents, Media files, Photos, will not show the size but will show a preview of the file.
Hold down the option key and open the Finder menu, then select Show Inspector. Alternatively, you can just press command+option+I. It does the same thing as command+I, but the inspector updates as you select files and will give you info on multiple files if selected at once.
That strikes me as an odd response. A single click, which is all it takes to switch to List or Column View is "too many movements"? And, if Always show in List/Column View is checked, exactly zero steps are required in the future.
That said, I use Icon View exclusively. why? because I like it.
Come on, not big deal. I'm trying to find the most EASY.
Maybe some software can do it. I like to search...
It's one click, but the eyes have to travel miles, to the (usually) other
side of my 27'' display...
Peace!
