Automatically size Finder columns to show all content works as well.
Authored by: Lou Kash on Aug 18, '05 09:26:56AM

Double-clicking in Finder windows works on Panther in the Column View but not in the List View.

I use an AppleScript to set the width of the List View columns to custom values (and more), executed by iKey (1.0.7) with a keyboard shortcut.

<code>
tell application "Finder"
set list_view to list view options of Finder window 1
set icon_view to icon view options of Finder window 1

set arrangement of icon_view to arranged by name
set icon size of icon_view to 32

set calculates folder sizes of list_view to true

set mod_col to column id modification date column of list_view
set crea_col to column id creation date column of list_view
set lab_col to column id label column of list_view
set name_col to column id name column of list_view
set com_col to column id comment column of list_view
set kind_col to column id version column of list_view
set vers_col to column id kind column of list_view

set width of mod_col to 124
set width of crea_col to 124
set width of lab_col to 64
set width of name_col to 280
set width of com_col to 94
set width of kind_col to 72
set width of vers_col to 80

set visible of mod_col to true
set visible of crea_col to false
set visible of lab_col to true
set visible of name_col to true
set visible of com_col to false
set visible of kind_col to false
set visible of vers_col to false
end tell

So where do you click, in Panther, in Column view? In case that wasn't clear, it's the little column resize thingy, lower right of each column, that looks like an equal sign turned on its side.
