Re: Finder windows in Column View

I can't seem to attach a file at Google Chrome, the Finder Window is too tall and unable to click 'Save', 'Cancel', etc. I had to pick a document/photo to exit the window.

Is anyone having this trouble too?
I noticed this delay when I first moved to Leopard. Side-by-side with a much slower machine running Tiger, the delay was extremely noticeable.
Now it is just as quick as Tiger. Sadly I don't know what has caused the delay to go away. FWIW, my initial Leopard instal was an Upgrade. I have since done an Erase & Instal: a bit drastic, and I'm not even sure this was the cause. I think the situation had improved before the 10.5.1 update.
The most plausible reason is that it occurred after the weekly maintenance script was first run on the new installation. You might like to try this, it can do no harm:
Open the Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste the following into the Terminal window followed by a return:
sudo periodic weekly
Press return and you will be prompted for your password. This is not echoed for security reasons, so you won't see anything as you type: just type it and press return.
If you haven't used 'sudo' before, you will receive a little lecture before being prompted for the password. Read it and continue. It will take a couple of minutes to complete—you'll know it is finished when your shell prompt reappears.
I would be very interested to know if this helps, because, as I said, I suffered this slowness initially. It would be good to know what made it go away.

Making finder open in column view?

I really like the OS X Finder's "Column View". Unfortunately, Finder windows always seem to open in icon view, even though I've checked the "Open New Windows in Column View" option in Finder preferences. Any idea why this option might not be working (on a brand-new installation with the latest software update installed)?

Hi, Mike, this below is from the Helpviewer: Click screen bring up finder go to Help on Menu Bar , Helpviewer> Click Index "Mac Help Index" click 'f" all about Finder.
"To always use column view when you open a Finder window, choose Finder > Preferences and click General. Select "Open new windows in column view."
If you choose icon or list view, the Finder saves your view settings. The next time you open the window you will see the same view settings you chose previously.
You can also customize the items that appear in the toolbar of Finder windows, or you can change the overall look of windows."
Hope this helps.

Keeping windows in column view ugh?!????!?!?!?!?

ive written before on this. I click on a file it opens in icon or list view. i do not want my windows opening like that.
I have done everything i could. What must i do to keep the windows in column view?
please
Apple tell us!

Not to sound flippant, but don't close the windows! I've been using the same two Finder windows for 6 years now. If I want them out of the way, I hide them or minimise them to the Dock. To be honest, they're rarely in the way because I use Dragthing as an application switcher, so I just use Dragthing's app list to bring forward the app windows I want -- the Finder windows gradually sink to the back.
My Finder windows are always there, always handy, and always in column view.
HTH!

Tiger refuses to open new windows in columns view ?!?

What might be the problem when the finder refuses to open new windows in column view?
What ever I do with preferences, new folders are always opening in icon view.
It is very frustrating when dragging files to the folder inside other folder, where in column view they should be in alphabetical order, and destination folder should be easily found, but in icon view, they are in what-so-ever order, and the changes of placing files accidently to the wrong folder is multiplied.
The workflow is always more or less disturbed with this, so that creativity is not the the adjective that is mentioned to describe the working with these machines.
Is there anything that could be done?
This same problem occurs similarily in both of my Macs G4 PowerBook and G4 MDD PowerMac.

Hello,
Trash the Finder preference file: com.apple.Finder.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
See if that helps...
If not, then perhaps it's a good time to check the boot disk for errors;
If not, shut down the Mac(s). Now, press the power button, hold down the C key, and insert the restore disk all at the same time. Keep holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo. An Installer window will open but DO NOT proceed with any installations, instead from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. In the DU window, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab and click: Verify If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar select Utilities/Startup Disk and select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
If you don't have your restore disk you could try booting in Safe Mode. Go here for instructions:

Finder Window Sizes and View Options

In an earlier message under Mac OS X Panther it was recommended that I post a new message in the AppleScript forum.
I'm looking for a way to automate the repetitive task of resizing Finder windows and resetting view options. For example resetting a hundred folders to the same window size and screen position with the same view options. This requires manually adjusting each window one by one.
A solution could be an AppleScript that would automate this task.
The following is the earlier message:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1283081#1283081
I mistakenly deleted all the preference files for the Finder window options on my 17 inch PowerBook (.DS_Store Files).
This has returned all Finder windows to default settings for window sizes and view options.
I use custom widow sizes for all my folders that nicely fit the 17 inch screen on my PowerBook, leaving enough desktop space on the right for the hard drive icons and the Dock that I always keep vertical on the right.
I have a 12 inch PowerBook as well. And it has it's own custom window size that fits it's much smaller screen. It has always been a complaint of mine to have to manually reset windows whenever I needed to transfer folders with Bluetooth file exchange.
Resetting Finder window sizes and view option has always been a time consuming problem. Now to have to do it over again for hundreds of windows is a huge task that is way to manual.
The Finder is customizable. There must be a way to set the options for one window and be able to use those adjustments for other windows without having to re adjust each setting manually.
There was an application called Finder Window Manager. Maybe someone knows of another application that can do this of task or another way around this issue.

Photoscene,
I think if you repost this to the AppleScript link, someone there will have a solution for you (in the form of an applescript that you can run)...

Give it a shot (I'm not clever enough to give you a good script yet, but someone there will be!)

Opening windows in column view by default

Hello all,
I just got a new iMac 24” aluminum a few days ago and have set up all of my apps, defaults etc. I want my windows to always open in column view and have used View Options to set it that way. Each day when I start up though, the windows revert back to Icon View and I have to reset them again. On my old machine I had them opening in column view by default and they always did so. And I remember that there used to be a button at the bottom of the View Options window that, when clicked would keep whatever you set your options to as a default for all windows. That button no longer exists. Possibly somewhere in one of the updates along the way it’s been removed. Anyway, I want to set my windows to always open in column view by default and can find no way to do that anymore. Does anyone know how?
BTW, the new alu 24" is GREAT!!

Then there's something wrong with you OS installation. Not really sure if there's an easy fix other than an Archive and Install. But you can try a few things first.
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Delete the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file.
3. Create a new user account and log into that account. Does the problem cease?
4. Boot into safe mode. Does the problem go away?
5. Use a utility such as TinkerTool System and clean system and user caches.
If none of these have any effect then an Archive and Install may be necessary:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Finder crashes in Column View mode

Hello all-
I'm having a problem with my Mac that is getting very, very annoying and I'm hoping somebody can help me out...
As I navigate from File to file in Column view mode, the Finder will often stop responding (relaunch becomes option in Dock) and I'll see the spinning beach ball for over a minute before Finder becomes available again.
It appears like it is having problems generating the file info for the preview window. I've even turned off the Preview option in the last column, but to no effect. I refuse to believe that my machine is so incapable of simply showing me my files. This happens regardless of the number of applications and windows I have open.
Can anybody suggest anything? I recently did a full reinstall of Tiger and the service updates. Hard to think that something would be wrong with the OS already.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you can offer.

Actually Onyx appears only "reset" the Spotlight index, it doesn't force it to reindex or anything else that I'm aware of.
I read up a bit more on Spotlight and tried to trash the index and associated files, hoping that it would reindex and all would be fine. However apon reboot it kicked back into it's old routine of cycling and eating up 99% of one of the CPUs.
I decided to finally just disable the spotlight feature completely using the DisableTigerFeatures program.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18182
Although I'm disappointed that I can't use Spotlight anymore (never used it much to begin with though) I can happy report that both my CPUs are mine again, my software and games are running snappier, my firewire hdd, iPod, and secondary SATA HDD not unmount and vertify just fine.
Sad that for months and months I basically allowed my G5 Dual Processsor to be crippled by a buggy (in my estimation) piece of software. Finally I feel like my computer is safe to work on and I'm enjoying it for the first time in quite awhile.
Thanks again Francine, had you not pointed my in the right direction I'd still be running a single processor machine that crashed all the time

Finder Window in icon view problem

Ok, for example, finder window has enough folders that I have to scroll down quite a bit to reach mid page. Then I open a folder at mid page and open one of the folders I find in there. I then click twice to go back to the original window. But instead of revealing itself in mid page, so I can go on to the next folder, it opens at the top of the page and I have to scroll all the way down to where I was, sometimes losing track of where I was. This is something that did not happen in Jaguar or Panther! Anyone have a fix for this? I need to use icon view for my work.

crebius, can't you just click the red close window
buttons until you get back to the one that is open at
half page?
Eh, I don't use a different window for every layer of a folder i get into. Just one window. But I've been playing with view options (Tiger) and figured out a workaround. I clicked on 'Show icon preview' and 'Keep arranged by' (name - for me).
Thanks for trying to help.

Finder problem in column view with Pages

When saving a document the Finder view comes up BUT most of the top part of the view is up off the screen. Because I cannot access the Toolbar I cannot move it back down only resize it from the bottom which doen't move the top down. Help please !!!!

Eureka! I think I found it. The Finder window of which I speak is there because I gave Pages an instruction to Save a document. The Finder window can thus be moved by moving the Pages document being saved, by its Toolbar. The Finder window moves in sync with the Pages document.

Finder freeze in Column View

Since recent updates, Finder freezes with the spinning beach ball when selecting items in column view. It can takes a few minutes each time before I can progress.
I checked for answer here, but found nothing.
I have repaired disc errors, restarted, relaunched Finder, repaired permissions etc - but the problem is still there.
Any ideas or solutions?

If you haven't worked this out yet, sounds like you're having the same exact issue I was, solved here:

Finder window cuts content view

Hi,
Somewhat randomly, when I return focus to a given Finder window, its view cuts the contents and I can't see the file's name, only the info that usually stays at its right. Please check the attached image for better explanation of this problem.
Does it happen to anyone else? Is this a know problem? Can it be fixed?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge

Might be corrupted Finder preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist files to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try a Finder window.

Finder freezes in Column View when connected to 10.8 Server

This is an unusual problem I can't seem to nail down. When browsing files in column view on an Apple server the Finder will sometimes freeze and lockup with a beachball. I can't relaunch the fnder. Restarting is the only fix. It doen't happen everytime I'm in column view but it only happens when I'm browsing files on our network shares in column view. Two other users in the office with the same OS don't experience this issue. It's only happening to my Mac. Reveiwing the console logs from these instences doesn't show any consistent entries except coreaudiod[156]: Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is active I've understood this to be an issue with iTunes so don't think it's related to this problem.
Here's what I've done to date without any success in ending this issue.
Deleted the finder prefs
Connected to the server with WiFi rather than ethernet
Created a new user account and worked in that account
Reinstalled the operating system
2012 27" iMac running 10.8.5
2013 Mac Mini server running 10.8.5
Gigabit network through Apple Extreme Basestation
Below are the 4 sections of the All Messages console logs from times of the freeze. Each entry leads with the exact time I noticed the freeze.
If anyone could share similar experiences with this behavior or share their interpretation of the logs I would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Dennis

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Can't get folders to stay in column view... pulling hair out!!!

It doesn't matter what finder view options I set, they work for 1 or 2 times opening a finder window in column view, then goes back to the icon view. I hate icon view!!! What is the ridiculous deal with this and how can something so chump-change, penny-ante as keeping a simple folder view preference be so ridiculous as to migrate from one version of OSX to the next!?!?? At least there was an app in 10.4 that was in Utilities that you could log in as root, reset the windows the way you wanted and then log back out. Ridiculous that you had to do that kludge, but it worked... but I can't find that application anymore in Leopard... arghhh! Wow, I feel a bit better to have vented Can anyone help me fix this so I can always have Column view as the default... and possible save my sanity in the process?

Does this KBase article still apply?
Mac OS X: How to Save a Finder View (Column, Icon, or List) for a Specific Folder or Disk
It appears the Finder only keeps the desired setting if set on a newly opened window. If the folder was navigated to within the window and the setting is changed, that setting is temporary. So you need to (temporarily) set the Finder to open folders in a new window (Finder Preferences) so any window you navigate to is a new window, a "starting point". Then you can actually save that folder's setting. Note you can leave the "Show View Options" window open as you change between windows and it relates to the active window. Once all your desired folders are set, you can uncheck to open folders in new windows.
I usually navigate in column view and of course clicking through folders in column view is not the same as opening a new window so I had to create aliases of some folders to test with but this worked for me.
(hmm, further testing, they seem to keep for me even when set by navigating to it within a window.... but this might be worth a try)

Is it possible to set default column widths in list view when using a finder window in Mavericks?

The default 'document' column is way too wide and forces you eye to track all the way across the screen to read info like "date modified', 'kind' or 'size'.
Tried several times to create a narrower default 'document name' column with no results. Couldn't find anything in preferences or view options. Tried dragging column headers while holding the down the option key with no results.
Every time I open a new finder window, all columns except the 'document' column affixed to the right side of the window. Also, when you grab the bottom right corner of a window to resize smaller, the lists become re-affixed to the right side of the window when opening the window back up.
Experiencing the same problem in Mavericks 10.9.3 on an iMac and Macbook Pro Retina.
Thanks if you've made it this far:)

This was a great place for me to start
Thank you
I took profdant139's suggestions a bit further as my real goal was to have the "Document column" narrower. The goal to be able to see all the other document info that was usually hidden way out to the right
To achieve my results I right clicked in the upper bar with the column names and chose from the drop down box "comments" column (as suggested). I then dragged it to the far right. This pushed all the other columns over.
In the end of the day I ended up adding "Size" and "Date modified" columns as well to get my desired results.
Remember one can move different columns around to be in the order you need by clicking on the column to get it active and then left click and drag it to where you want
Another great thing is that by default (Using Mavericks) the date modified, opened,created columns have date and time. One can shrink them down to xx/xx/xx format by manually adjusting the column width like one does in Excel - click on column separator up top and drag
Once all that is done, at least on my box, I closed it out and opened up a new finder window and everything was as I wanted.
Thank you for the help from the above helper to get me here

Finder column view

After installing Archicad 10, I seem to have lost the ability to have the Finder window for my Macintosh HD open in column view on a regular basis. I keep setting it to column view, and have fiddled with Finder preferences, but it keeps reverting to opening in Icon view after a while (for example, after restarting).
Other folders in the Finder open in column view just fine; it's the view of my startup disk that won't behave.
Any ideas?
Dual G5 2.0 GHz, OSX 10.4.7.

Hi Michael,
I'm not familiar with the software, so I don't know about its compatibility. However, I would have a look at Scott Radloff's User Tip.
