I have checked the list of available variables that you could display in the preview information window and several that I would like do not appear.  The most important is Focus Distance.  I have seen this variable through the exiftool over several generations of Nikon DSLRs. Min and Max Focal Length would be nice as well.

You do this by customizing the "Info Text".  In the menu bar: Edit->Set->Set Info Text...

You can edit the text and enter any of Photo Mechanic's {variables}

While I don't know offhand if PM supports minimum and maximum focal length, it does support a multitude of other shooting data and other metadata.

Here is the list of {variables}:
