This does not cater to that currently. That might be a useful enhancement.
Personnally, I don't usually want to see such info on a continual basis.
When I want to see it, I toggle briefly to see it, then go back to showing
no details. If there is a use case for continually showing a subset of the
information, that could perhaps be added as an enhancement.

`C-x 3', then Dired?
Oh, I see, you want two or more columns for Dired, right? Yes, you can do
that too: `M-x follow-mode' + `C-x 3' (repeat `C-x 3' as needed). (The
toggle, however, acts on all of the Dired windows, not just one.)

Dunno. Give it a try ;-).
