Q: List View column resizing in El Capitan
This topic appears frequently under other MacOS discussions but, so far, I can't find it addressed for El Capitan -- is there now a fix for this?
Summary: In Finder's List View the column sizes set for (say) the "Name" column are not remembered. When I reopen the folder window in List View the dimensions of the window are remembered but not the width of the leftmost, "Name" column. It is scrunched down to allow the columns to the right to remain in view. I've tried the various "fixes" discussed over the several years but they don't seem to work in El Capitan. (E.g., holding down the option key while dragging the size of the Name column to be wider). At this point the only solution appears to be to size the whole window wide enough for all the columns to show -- then the Name column will stay wide.
In the past, the rightmost columns could be dragged 'off screen' and that setting would be remembered, on a folder by folder basis. Is there some way to accomplish this under El C.?
