Just noticed that the Finder info box still says version 2.5.8. The "About FileXaminer ..." dialog does say 2.5.9.

I came across FileXaminer and tried it. Now my Alt-Cmd-i pops up the FileXaminer window, but it doesn't stay in front of any other finder windows. For me that means it is an unusable program. So I delete it. Now Alt-Cmd-i doesn't work at all. That is REALLY bad......

I have found Filexaminer to be very reliable and very useful in doing several things that require much more technica expertise. Thanks to Gideon Softworks for making it available. Easily worth the price.
