Finder: more columns for detail list view
Why can Finder just show 7 different file infos in the detailed list view?
What if I want to show mp3 tags in the columns?
Let the user choose of much more file infos in detailed list view:
* mp3 tags (interpret, album title, ...)
* jpeg image infos (width, color depth, ...)
* owner infos, unix acls, ...
And don't make this available through the folder view options. Instead let the user right click on the column and choose from a list, like it's done in iTunes.

I would also love a column to sort by file extension. This would be different from Sort by Kind, which causes files to be sorted by the description of their type instead of the type itself.
These columns should also be available in the standard file browse dialogs.

This is absolutely what it should be like! I have right clicked on the column heading MANY times wanting to show a specific column and every time am reminded that it doesn't work like that, but it absolutely should. Also if each folder could remember the options you choce for columns in that folder, this way in your music folder you could set it to show album, atrist, and other music related things but in pictures it could show date taken, dimensions, etc.
