Properties & permissions

Open the Properties card with Ctrl/Cmd+I, or from the Start command menu. It shows an item’s:

  • name, type, and full path
  • size and item counts
  • created / modified dates

A Copy path button (A, or the C key) copies the path shown in the dialog to the clipboard.

For a single file, Properties shows a Checksum row so you can verify a download against a published hash. The row is labelled with the algorithm (for example Checksum (MD5)) and its value is computed automatically when the dialog opens — a Calculating… spinner shows until the hex digest appears.

Choose which algorithm to use — or turn the row off — in the Operations & Preferences manager under Checksum → Hash algorithm:

  • None — no checksum row (and no Copy hash button)
  • MD5 (the default), SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512

A Copy hash button (X, or the H key) copies the digest to the clipboard, next to Copy path.

On macOS and Linux, the Properties card also shows the file’s permissions — for example rwxr-xr-x (755) — with an Edit button (Y).

Editing opens a 3×3 read / write / execute matrix for owner / group / others. A live chmod value updates as you toggle each box:

  • Y applies the change
  • B cancels
