10.8.3, no previews in Finder's column view.

Since updating to 10.8.3, in the Finder's column view, I no longer see previews in the right-most column. Does anyone else have this problem and/or a solution? Restarts don't affect the view. Icon view, portfolio view and Get Info all appear normally. Thank you!

Try deleting Finder's Preference List. You may have to reset some things afterwards. Force Quit Finder to get it to restart.


You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the application.

If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.

You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
