That was detailed mode are for. so currently not there in list view
You can enable hover preview or preview panel, then that info is shown there

ags:
It is important to quckly see date, time, size in the footer of the panel for List view, always in exactly the same spot.
Other older orthodox file managers had this implemented 30 years ago. So there was a use for it. It is not so practical for users to keep changing the view to see what they should see without changing anything.

See, that is how open sourcing would help the project. MC is nice and there is a lot that could be praised about it. But it is the vision of one man. It is what you want, not what people want. Open sourcing would make it (in time, of course) what you want AND what I want AND what others want. And this would bring maturity to the project.

In the upper right side of this forum I see "File Managment For Professionals". So maturity is to be expected from MC. By the way, there is a spelling error in that.

Then use detailed mode. :) it is much better anyway. I never use List view..(maybe why it lack features.. I never use it my self. ;) )
also many other might have had that a long time. But MC also had many things they do not have.

Open source would not help. As I said.. Nobody would contribute a major things that require architectural changes of the code.
Even if there was somebody willing to do it. it would require me LOTS of work do transfer everything to be open source.. and that is time that do not exists

However.... It is actually on the list.. but time is limited and it been pushed down. But some of the architectural changes are now done when Preview handing was added in previous releases so now it higher possibility for it to show up.

And Yes there are many spelling errors I know :)  If I ever get the time I will fix them. Right now the time I can spend on this is very limited.
