When I open most (but not all) Finder windows, the Name section is extremely long, even when the names in the directory or folder are very short.
Does anyone know a way to reset or define the width of the name column? The other columns seem fine.

same issue. Brand new iMac, fresh install no TM restore.
Sometimes you can set the "default" view and position of a window by Command clicking on the close button.
When you reopen it, it should open in that way.
No effect here.
Ack! Back to not-workie.
I am having this problem too. Also when uploading things into my browser - not sure if any of these fixes will work for that.
Doesn't work here...
I also hate this bug. its annoying and costs me every day work time.
when will apple please fix this??
The question is are YOU reading what you;re saying. Can we stop now? Is there a blocking mechanism here? I've never felt I needed to use it before.
How long before 10.9.2 is released? Maybe that will have a fix. <not holding breath>
I was waiting for 10.9.2 to fix it. It didn't. So I tried your script and IT WORKS! I saved it as a keyboard shortcut using Spark and now the Finder is finally doing what it's supposed to do. Thanks!
This definitely worked for me! Thanks!
It looks like they didn't address any finder bug of 10.9 in their updates until 10.9.2.. These are wrong priorities, basic things are not fixed.
Thanks!
Thank you for that script. I have assigned it a hotkey in Butler and it's a big time saver.
