    Dear Brink, you sir are a genius!

    I had lost my Details tab somehow and couldn't find the solution anywhere until I found your little script which worked a treat. This has been doing my head in for months so I just had to register on these forums in order to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    Hello 7absinth, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

    I'm not sure you can other than just using the normal "Properties" context menu item.

    But I believe it is possible. If I found how to add Open file location option on context menu then there may be the option to add details tab? So hope somebody is enough erudite to find how to do this.

    Hello @jraju,

    It is good to see you.

    The "Location" tab will only be at the source location of the Downloads folder.

    It depends on how the folder is referenced by the app. Often, you'll have to change the app's settings to point to the new location.
