This will nicely display the desired panel from the Information Window.
But I couldn't find a way to obtain its contents.
Does anybody have an idea?
The answer depends on what information you want from your file. There are better ways to get most of the information than opening the info window in the user interface.
Getting the file’s properties returns lots of data, and the ‘info fo’ command from the standard editions also returns lots of information.
What exactly are you looking for?
HTH,
ES
set myFile to choose file
tell application "Finder"
properties of myFile
end tell
info for myFile
