Are you missing yazi to show file sizes and dates?

Then you're lucky, because linemode is what you need see the docs

You can also specify any 1 to 20 characters, and extend it within a UI plugin, which means you can implement your own linemode through the plugin system like this:

# ~/.config/yazi/yazi.toml
[mgr]
linemode = "size_and_mtime"

Then in your init:

-- ~/.config/yazi/init.lua
function Linemode:size_and_mtime()
    local time = math.floor(self._file.cha.mtime or 0)
    if time == 0 then
        time = ""
    elseif os.date("%Y", time) == os.date("%Y") then
        time = os.date("%b %d %H:%M", time)
    else
        time = os.date("%b %d  %Y", time)
    end

    local size = self._file:size()
    return string.format("%s %s", size and ya.readable_size(size) or "-", time)
end
