--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
I suspect that the label shows rudimentary information about the selected file
as a sort of poor man's information panel. The Information panel is turned off
by default, after all, and this label shows file type and size for the selected
item in a very compact way.

So I suspect that this is intentional. If we take your suggestion, we may be
improving consistency but we will be reducing functionality. Furthermore, it's
not clear that improving consistency is really an improvement here. Showing
different information for single selection vs multi-selection is quite common
all over the place, because different sets of information are available in
these diverging cases.

As such, I'm not sure it makes sense to do, sorry. :)
