File details¶

The details view shows everything ArchiveMind knows about a single file.

The file details view: a large preview, then general information including path, size, dates, type and repository, honest notes where metadata is absent, extracted text, and a duplicate group listing every copy with its own Reveal action

What you will see¶

Name, path, and size — where the file lives and how big it is.
Which repository (drive or folder) it belongs to, and whether that source is currently connected.
Dates — such as when the file was last modified.
Metadata — what the file format provides: camera details for photos, tags for audio files, and so on. Missing metadata is shown as missing, never invented.
A preview or thumbnail where the format supports one.
Duplicate relationships — other catalogued copies of the same content, if any. See Duplicates.

Opening the real file¶

When the file's drive is connected, use Reveal in Finder (macOS) or Show in Explorer (Windows) to jump straight to the file on disk.

When the drive is disconnected, ArchiveMind still shows the catalogued details — but it tells you plainly that the original file cannot be opened until the drive is reconnected. See Disconnected drives.
