Bare Bones Software Super Get Info

4 out of 5 points

"... unless you're a particularly geeky Mac user who's prepared to invest the time in exploiting the command-line tool, FileXaminer is comparably featured, and offers easy batch processing."

End IF Informator

3 out of 5 points

"There's much in Informator to impress that's not included in any of the other applications ... However the interface is a tortuous morass of brushed metal, tiny unintelligible icons and cryptic flyout menus."

Gideon Softworks FileXaminer

5 out of 5 points

"FileXaminer doesn't have the depth of Informator or the hardcore features of Super Get Info, but ... it still represents good value for money for many users."

Muchosoft MuchoFileInfo

2 out of 5 points

"... If you only need very basic functionality, MuchoFileInfo's compelling price tag makes it a sensible choice ..."

Rainer Brockerhoff XRay

5 out of 5 points – Editor's Choice

"XRay is a very competent application indeed, and although its batch-processing tools aren't quite as flexible as FileXaminer's, it's a worthy winner."
