OS X Finder does sometimes, but not always, show the dimensions of an image selected in Finder, in the sidebar. Why? Is there a way to force it to always show the dimensions? It seems very arbitrary when it decides to show and not to show.
Note: this folder is on a local drive – the default Macintosh HD.
A software alternative that provides a media browser from anywhere:
In Terminal, run the following command. You should find the word Network mentioned at least once in your .plist preference file:
defaults read com.apple.sidebarlists | grep Network
As I can't drag Network to my Finder sidebar — and as sidebar takes a different approach to showing shared items — I guess that:
Probably easiest with Xcode.
If you don't have Xcode, then use TextWrangler or anything that's capable of editing this type of property list.
Xcode views of the property list:
A TextWrangler view:
⇧⌘K
First try removing, from the property list, unwanted or redundant items relating to Network.
A guess: it may be necessary to quit Finder, or log out, before some types of change become effective.
If following removals and a log out you find that SHARED is still without All…, consider asking a separate question.
