Q: How to persist change in finder sidebar width?

Hello guys, I want to persist change in finder sidebar width once I change it. Now what happens is that I drag to resize then go to view->show view options->Use as defaults but next time I create a new folder, it resizes to wrong setting again. I even tried resizing by holding option but no result. How can I persist this change in width

 

This is what it looks like when new folder is created:

but I want it to be like this each time:

How can I achieve this?

 

Thank you

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), null

    Still a problem in 10.10.5 with USB devices.

     

    Absurd that one of the nation's -- indeed the world's -- richest companies can't get something this simple to work correctly.

    Same problem here. I am so sick and tired of Apple thinking they are above reproach. They need to get off their throne and LISTEN to their customers! This is ridiculous. Yosemite also jacked up the way multi monitors work and I spend time every day rearranging my windows to my 10 different desktops, nothing stays put even when you tell it to. And now this stupid Finder issue. Sigh .....

    At first, this didn't work for me: moving the App to "Application folder" (as you say mentioned in step 5.) didn't work. I got an error message like "This App doesn't have autorisation to access Help" (I tried my best to translate the message from french...).

    Then I tried placing the App in another folder. At the moment I placed it in a new sub-folder in "Downloads" (I guess I should find a better place, but I won't place it in "Application folder") and now all seems to work fine!

    I hope it will help.

     

    P.S. : shortcut "Shift+Command+T" didn't work as it's already a shortcut for "Hide the tab bar" in Finder. Then I chose "Shift+Option+Command+T"
