Indeed. Sounds useful to see sizes and timestamps sometimes when editing names.

It's not about changing the permissions: most of the time I have
`dired-hide-details-mode' initially off (i.e. details shown) in normal
dired because of other useful information the listing shows (times,
number of hardlinks).  Then I switch to wdired to change file names and
see that I rather wanted to hide details because some file names are
long and the end is out of view, but I have already made some changes.
Instead of aborting wdired, turn `dired-hide-details-mode' on, switch to
wdired again and restart editing I would rather just toggle details from
within wdired.

Michael.
