Thinking about it after posting that, the panel is not a new feature, but it will add a bit more functionality than the info panel that already appears in 'Column' view Finder windows shows. >> Some people are all excited about the "new Gallery view" ... except >> it's already been there for many previous versions of macOS under the >> name "Cover Flow", and is rarely-to-never used by most people. > > I wised my wife to cover a good while after it was added and it was a > minor satori.

Apple keeps adding these gimmicks mostly that few people will ever use, which just adds extra complexity (so you'll have to buy a new faster computer) and bug opportunities ... and they remove or tweak existing features into near uselessness (for example the coloured tags where much more visible when the whole filename was highlighted, rather than just a silly little dot). They also still haven't fixed some of the glitches and bugs that have existed in the OS for many versions.
