Instant details: is a view other than "column view" possible?

[Lorinda H. M. Hoover]

I currently have the ID pane set to run along the bottom of my workspace, and I'm finding the fact that it uses columns to display text very distracting and annoying, especially when the entry is so short it only appears in the first column, like this:

 

 

 

 

And when there is just a partial line of text in the second column, like this:

 

Is there any way to change the display so it displays text in one "column" that runs across the entire length of the ID pane?

 

I checked the settings options and the help file and didn't find anything.

Although not quite what you're after, if you don't mind a vertical Instant Details pane, you can toggle the format (second button in the ID controls) to get a tall, narrow pane that displays in one column.

I haven't found any options to allow a single column in a wide pane.

There is a way to display Instant Details as a popover as well by pressing and holding on a word. Probably not still what you need, but fun to try.

 

I should do a QuickTip Video on Instant Details.
