I don't think so, Nigel.  I tend to use dolphin pretty much all the time now, 
and there are a couple of options for getting the info.  You can either elect 
to have various attributes shown under the icon, or you can have an info panel 
to the right of the main window, though that only shows the file you have 
selected, so it's still one bit at a time.

When I'm wanting to deal with a lot of files at once I turn on the attributes
