Dragging into the Info Window

    The info window can copy some attributes from other items in the Finder by dragging them to the relevant area in the window.

What Can Be Copied

    The following attributes can be copied from a file or folder by dragging its icon into the window and onto the data you wish to replace:
    Icon
    Creation date
    Modified date
    Backup date
    Access date
    File type*
    Creator*

    Tip: To copy the file type and creator at the same time, drag into the box labeled Type and Creator Signature, but outside the type or creator fields.

    In addition, the current item can be moved to another location in the Finder by dragging its icon in the window's title bar to the desired location.
