Comment 13 for bug 388904

It looks like a short-term improvement would be to revert that change. It's not clear from the Gnome bug report why David Zeuthen wanted the manufacturer name etc shown by default (perhaps someone could ask him?:-). But probably it could be shown somewhere optional, separate from the label. For example, in icon view, it could be shown as secondary text below the label when you zoom in (like sizes are currently). And in list view, it could be an optional column separate from the Name column.
