Column width in finder LIST view

I am using Yosemite. This issue has been driving me mad for years and try as I may I cannot find the solution.
How do you set a default column width in Finder LIST view for all folders? Whatever I do (for example VIEW OPTIONS, USE AS DEFAULTS) does not work.
Can anybody help? I would use third party plugins if I could find something that controls this. Please note: I am using LIST view NOT column view.
Many thanks

Like Jim, I also generally use Icon view for folders containing images, and have the View Option to show item info selected. Column view will also show image dimensions (both of these work, provided the folder has been indexed by Spotlight).
If you want to see the dimensions, but also want to view the folder contents in List view, the best you can do is bring up the Inspector (Command-Option-i), expand the More Info section, then move down the list using the arrow key. The Inspector pane's contents change with each new selected item, and the More Info section includes the dimensions.

Problems using "Edit Column Widths" feature in List View component

Hello. I'm using a list view component (Xcelsius 4.5 Professional) to display a simple table of text from Excel. I want to adjust the width of the component colums so that all of them fit on the screen at the same time- regardless of how wide they are in the excel columns. The problem is the columns in excel are of variable length; I have no way to predict how wide they will be. The list view component always defaults to the widest column(s) so it ends up pushing some of the columns to the right and I then have to use the scroll bar to see them. I thought the "edit column widths" would allow me to force the column widths in the component (potentially truncating some of the columns), but it does not work that way.
How is the "edit column width" feature supposed to work? What does one enter in the value for each label? Are the units in pixels? When I start entering values I get all kinds of strange behavior...

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

Can I set all folders to the same column with in Finder list view?

I set Finder to display 4 columns in list view: Name, Date Modified, Size, Kind. Is there a way to apply the width of those columns to all folders? Column width is not affected by the option "use as defaults" in the view options.

I've just seen that somebody else asked the same question lately:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22368987#22368987
There seems to be no way to do what I want to do.

Finder crashes when Preview column is active in list view

I've created a bootable system backup of OS X 10.10.1 on an external 1TB HD connected via firewire 800 to a 2011 iMac running OS 10.10.1.
I have had no problems with Yosemite's Finder on the iMac if I boot from the internal HD. I check to be sure which HD I've started from by having the Finder window show the Path Bar via a setting in the Finder's View menu.
The problems only appear when I boot from the external HD, then the Finder crashes when the Preview column is active in list view. I can force quit and restart the Finder via the Force Quit Applications (command-option-escape) tool. I can open files from within an open application but cannot open files by clicking on the file directly, as long as the Finder is set to Show the Preview column. I prefer to work in list view, so suggesting I use another view doesn't solve my problem.
Another strange issue is that I can boot from the external HD if I select that HD in System Preferences > Startup Disk but not if I hold down the option key and select that HD during start-up if the Preview column is active in list view. When I try to boot from the external HD by selecting that HD during start-up, instead the computer starts up from the internal HD.
I CAN boot from the external HD if I select the external HD during boot-up IF the Preview column is NOT active in list view.
Is there a way for me to reinstall the OS on the external HD only? I did create a bootable Yosemite installer jump drive when I installed Yosemite on the iMac originally.
I've run Disk Utility on the external HD from the files available on the Recovery HD to both verify the HD and repair disk permissions to no avail.

Open Terminal application (spotlight for it). If you don't have it, get it from the Apple Support site.
In the command-line window that appears, type in:
<user>$ cd /Users/<user>/Library/Preferences
<user>$ rm com.apple.finder.plist
<user>$ ls com.apple.finder.plist
the system shouldn't return anything as the file should be gone
<user>$
exit from Terminal - you may need to restart your system at this point to recreate the com.apple.finder.plist.
Good luck -

Adding a column into the assets list view?

I am trying to find a way to add a column into the assets list view.
At the moment it has... Title, Metadata Set, Image Size, Duration, Size, Status etc...
I would like to add another metadata field into the list and cannot find anywhere to do it. For example, add the 'Reel' metadata field into the list.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

1. Log into Final Cut Server as the Admin.
2. Open the Advanced Administration window from the java client.
3. Search for the Metadata Group name "List"
Note this search will return approximately 29 items, but you'll want to modify the one
with the Metadata Group ID "ASSETLISTVIEW"
4. Add the fields to that group that you want.
5. To have these field show up either create New Workspace or logout and login.
Hope this helps.

Where are the Finder list view folder expand arrows

How do I do the same thing in Lion equivalent to the Finder List View folder expansion arrows? They're gone in the Application folder!

Check the following:
1. Go to Application folder (or any other folder with similar behavior)
2. Chose "View" --> "Arrange by" --> "None"
Guess this was it!
Best!

Finder List View: Maintain Column Width

OSX 10.7.3 - I prefer to use the "list view" option in Finder. With that said, I find it maddening that when I re-open Finder following a session where I had resized the column widths, I have to once again resize column width in order to see the full name of a file (instead of it being truncated.). Is there a way to set up Finder so that the columns stay resized each time I reopen a Finder window.

There's something in your Finder prefs...
I tested that and it works as expected.
Have you tried creating a new account and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.)
Open System Preferences > Accounts > "+" make it an admin account.
If this works, then log back into your problem account and Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

How can I set a default finder list view column size?

Hi,
I am having a bit of an issue here.
I like to use the list view in finder.
I want to set the name column to a certain size globally, so that all folders display the name at the same width.
However, currently I resize the column in the folder I'm working in, change folder and return to the original folder and the size has returned to the defaults.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Hold down the Option key and drag the vertical column right or left as needed.
Close that Finder window then open a new one. See if that worked.
It's working for me in Mountain Lion v10.8.4

Mavericks Will Not Retain Finder List-View Column Resizing

I've noticed this to occur at the root level of my hard disk in Finder. A visual will work best:
The "User Guides and Information" folder is truncated at the root level of my Hard Disk. I will then manually resize the column:
When I close out this window via the red close circle, and re-open, Finder will not remember my custom column view. It will revert back to the previously truncated state.
Oddly enough, I've found Finder to correctly preserve custom list view columns when you drill down a level (such as my custom column views inside of my Applications folder, for example).

I managed to find a solution that sorts the problem out for the time being till maybe Apple rectifies it. It is to open Finder and have it expanded to fit the screen. I don't know the proper names of things but in the heading that says Name etc, right click that so that you get a list of other things that can go in that heading, like Date Modified, Date Created etc.
Tick one or two that you don't need, like Tags for example. The purpose of those extra headings are to fill the column space at the right hand side of Finder so that it keeps the columns that you DO want on the left hand side kept in the same place. Once you've got all the headings and columns, move the width of the ones you want to the size that you want, making sure that the ones that you don't want, like Tags, on the right hand side totally fills up the rest of the column space.
This makes the full page Finder column space full up so that the columns you want don't end up shrinking every time you open Finder. Return Finder to the size that you usually use, adjust the width of your wanted columns to the size that you want and it should stay in place because the rest of the space in Finder is filled with the unwanted columns you chose, but which are hidden from view on the far right hand side of Finder, if you've got Finder smaller than the full screen, that is.
Ever since I did this with my columns (in List view) my columns remain where I have set them. (I hope you understand all that OK).

Finder list view name column keeps resizing!

I mainly use list view in Finder, and I mainly use windows (as opposed to fullscreen) because I like dragging and dropping between them (dragging and dropping in fullscreen with tabs is rather cumbersome).
Anyway, the name column keeps resizing on me, going from what I have it set to (usually double-clicked to make it fit all filenames) to suddenly being small enough that all the other columns fit in the window without a horizontal scroll bar. This has been happening ever since I upgraded to Yosemite and happens every time I open a new Finder window, expand a folder, move a file, etc. It's incredibly frustrating!
I was surprised to not find much about this problem mentioned around the web, so I imagine it must be some setting or something specific to my machine. Any help in figuring out how to make it stop doing this would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Sorry, no, preferences in the sense of what I prefer, but I believe view options (command J) are stored in DS_Store files, as well as list view column data, such as date added, date modified, name, kind, size, etc (except for some folders such as network, computer and meetingroom/airdrop?) which are stored in com.apple.finder.plist). You probably know that you can select which columns display in view options. Perhaps a temporary workaround would be to switch off other visible columns to display only name or name and one other preferred column to increase space available. However, myself and another suspect this the problems I described as a bug, and I would have to think your issue is part of that bug. It seems all related, no? For example, in my Downloads folder, I select to hide "Date Modified", show "Date Added", and arrange by "Date Added". Maybe it will still show if I close the window and reopen the Downloads folder, maybe it will not, maybe it will change completely to Icon View despite have "always open in list view" being selected in view options. In any case, after a restart, it will revert back to list view, with "Date Modified" showing and being arranged by "Name".

Finder list view difficulty

I prefer to use the List View in the Finder but I find one aspect of this interface particularly annoying. That is, if an item is highlighted (as it usually is) and one needs to scroll down or up to locate another item, the Finder keeps returning the focus to the item that is highlighted. This can be improved by pressing the escape key (to un-highlight the original item) but I usually forget to do this until the offending refocusing has already occurred. Does anyone have a workflow or suggestion as to how to avoid this problem.
OK, I know this sounds trivial but I am a developer who uses the Mac for several hours a day and am constantly locating code files in deeply embedded folder structures (probably several hundred times a day). I am hoping to smooth out this user interface experience.

In finder (list view) rescrolling to top when dropdowns folder contents. Bug?

I'm opening some folder in finder. Finder view is set to list view. List must be bigger than the view height. I'm scrolling down, then i click right arrow near some folder to dropdowns its contents. Its contents appear correctly but my list scrolls to top automaticaly after i clicked right arrow near folder.
Is this a bug? What can you say about this?

I'm frustrated with this same problem. In my case this happens only in my 10.5 macbook air and not in my 10.4 macbook pro. I've been renaming files in the same way in 10.2/10.3 and this never happened. Should be a bug. I've been searching for this issue and found this post at last - I really wonder why there aren't so many people mentioning this.

Finder - list view font color is grey, why can it not be changed?

Since upgrading to Mavericks, the font color in list view of Finder is a greyish color, not the classic black. the file name is still black font, but all other options (date modified, created, size, etc), are in a grey color, and it is hard to read. i have searched all over, for a way to customize this option. it seems it is the only feature you cannot customize in the update. i know using another view option does not have the same layout, but list view is most intuitive for me to use.
I like the tags use, color options, etc. i just wish all the text, the file name, and the categories to orgainize them, are in the same color.
any help / suggestions?

Are they lighter in color than in this screenshot?

Finder List View and White Border around photo image files (icon preview)

Hey everyone, just curious if anyone knows how to remove the stripes from list view in the finder window? I tried a method that worked for Leopard but no luck with Snow. And for photos, the icon previews have real thick white borders around them, can these be removed (or at least inverted)? They are so distracting when looking through hundreds of images...
Thanks,
Jason

I just found an app that will get rid of the white borders and preserve the original date in the photo's EXIF data. It is CocoThumbX and can be downloaded from http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/.

Auto column width in Finder

Hi all,
Does anyone know if I can set finder to have column widths automatically extend to the width of the longest filename?

I don't think you can, but as always you can double click the column seperator to do that
