one of my favorite new little features in leopard is quick look. it allows you to find out more about a given file by selecting it then clicking the space bar. the really cool thing is that there are quick look plugins available to extend the ‘usefulness’ of quick look.
here are some of the ones i use

this plugin gives you the ability to look inside a folder without actually going inside. it creates a nice list view.
