Show file size and date modified in file explorer.

[trypsynth]

VSCode's file explorer currently doesn't show any attributes of files (at least not to a screen reader). I'm not able to confirm if it shows them visually, but I doubt it. Attributes such as file size and last modified date can be quite helpful when working on a code project. Is it possible to add these by chance? Thanks!

You are correct that these attributes aren't shown visually either. Previous request was #124115 in 2021.

This would be useful for me, too.

Hopefully this doesn't get closed, too. This would be an extremely useful feature.

Explorer can be set to sort by last modified date, but we can't actually see that date in explorer?

The other sort orders (type + file) are immediately clear from their icons. I don’t see why date should be treated any different.

There's a UX question here too. Most users don't care about this information. Is this something we show just on hover? Is this something where we configure what fields are shown. Right now the explorer is just a tree with singular entries as files, there's no "details"
