Finder alternative with bigger space for tags and comments

I am embarking on a video organisation project where I am going to be tagging and entering a lot of text into the comments metadata of my video files.

The info pane only makes two lines for tags and three lines for comments visible.

I would like another app that will make these text entry boxes bigger.

Does such a thing exist?

Once the content entered into that Finder Get Info comment field exceeds its vertical viewport size, that content automatically becomes scrollable. That does not solve the lack of user enlargement for that Comment viewport, nor do I know of any Finder replacement products that offer a bigger comment window.


You may need to use AppleScript to get/set the comment content via the clipboard and an external text editor to enter/modify that content.
