I don't know if I'd like that. To read the EXIF data, every file would 
have to be opened and read individually, which would be very 
time-consuming. As it is now, a single call to the OS returns all the 
information without having to open (or even acknowledge) any files at 
all. Reading a lot of files in a folder, just to see if they have EXIF 
data, and if so, retrieve that data, would really slow down the detailed 
files function for people who aren't working with image files.
