FileType and QuickAccessmenu don’t compare with any of the other utilities that Lex lists (see my comparison below), but FileXaminer and XRay are competitive with Super Get Info.

FileType's limitations:

• FileType shows only a file's Type and Creator. Super Get Info shows all of the Finder's Get Info info, as well as Type and Creator, number of items in a folder, etc.

• FileType can’t be invoked from the Finder with a command key combination, nor via a contextual menu--you have to launch FileType, then drag items to its open window from the Finder. This is clumsy and inconvenient compared to Finder-level command keys, which Super Get Info supports--SGI even lets you select your own command key combination.

• FileType doesn't support drag and drop onto the FileType application's icon, though Super Get Info does, which means if you put FileType's icon into the Dock, it's useless for drag and dropping an item onto it.

• I was unable to get FileType 1.0.1 to work under Tiger--when I launched it, Script Editor reported an error, then took a long time to open FileType in Script Editor, where it displayed gobbledygook, not a proper Applescript. This also caused Microsoft Word to crash.


QuickAccessMenu's limitation:
QuickAccessMenu doesn't do any sort of Get Info. The publisher's web page that shows contextual QuickAccessMenu menus, shows a "Get Info" menu, but that's the Finder's Get Info.
