suppose i want to find out the file size, when it was last modified, if it's read-only, and whether it's hidden. if it's super old, i wanna delete it. if it's mildly old, i wanna rename it. etc.

like i said, if you wanna do multiple things, use the file info.

personally i've always used file info. things like crawling the directory makes more sense to me. go through a directory, based on the metadata add them to archive, delete, then recurse.
