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......
