Can't sort by image bit depth in Finder
This one really bugs me. For a platform that is supposed to be designer friendly, this one boggles my mind. I work mostly in tablets and mobile, so file sizes and bit depths play a big role in what I do. For performance reasons, keeping each of those attributes low adds to a better user experience. If I can export something at 8-bit and loose no quality, I will do so.
Often I need to do batch scaling. I don't want to export 8-bit PNGs as 24/32 bit, so I like to run these batches separately. On a PC (Vista and above), you can sort by bit depth in Explorer. I can quickly see 8, 24, 32 (and even 1, 2, 4). I cannot find a way to do this on a Mac. Even looking at Get Info, I can see that the bit depth displayed in there is either wrong, or it's based on direct color, not image bit-depth.
UGH.
