Yes, but the same goes for filetype setting although its more obvious as
filetype icons are always shown, where as access details are only in full
info view. Either we make access details consistent with with the existing
behavior for filetypes, which may not be entirely ideal, or we have to
come up with a new method for both. Which is a larger change I don't suggest
prior to open sourcing.
