Thanks.
That's probably OK.  I'll have to see, in practice.

FWIW, my (Dired+) version of `dired-query' also allows char
`l', which lists the files to be acted on, showing details
per option `diredp-list-file-attributes':

  diredp-list-file-attributes is a variable defined in `dired+.el'.
  Its value is (5 8)

  Documentation:
  Which file attributes `diredp-list-file' uses, and when.
  A list of file attribute numbers means use only the values of those
  attributes.
  A non-list means use all attribute values.
