I would like to quickly check all open documents for profile, or for size, etc., but I have to change each document individually if it doesn’t already display the information I need. This didn’t use to be the case; if you changed one you changed all.

I already checked all the areas suggested in "How To Get Help Quickly" (before I posted). I didn’t see anything that addressed my question, which is can all the displays be changed in one operation?
Since no one responded with a way to do this, I assume for now that it can’t be done.
Unless someone has figured out how to do this (scripting, perhaps?), no further posting to this thread is necessary.
Sorry if the first post wasn’t clear. I’ll try again.
The status bar shows various information at the lower left corner of the document window. It can show information such as profile, image size, etc., but it only shows one thing at a time. The type of information is selectable only for the active window. To change the information displayed, each document must be changed individually. In other words, if 35 documents are open (I sometimes have this many documents open at the same time) and I want to quickly check the profiles of the documents, I would like to be able to change the information in the status bar to "profile" for all the documents, without having to select every single document that doesn’t happen to currently be displaying the information I want to see.
What I want to do is change the information displayed in the status bar for all open documents in one operation. Could I be the only person who would like to do this? Unlikely, and I bet some clever person has found a solution.
Thanks, these are good suggestions. Unfortunately they don’t quite work for me. In this situation I will already have the documents open and some will have had the status bar changed in the course of working. Also, sometimes I want to check all the documents for profile, and then for size, so it’s impractical to close them all and then reopen them.
As for Bridge, it won’t tell me the info I need unless I first save the images, something that I generally don’t want to do at this point in the workflow.
I guess my request is a bit unusual so I’m going to see if it can be scripted.
