Automatically Adjust Width of Finder Columns

[Barral39]

Thank you guys for developping FinderFix, it's been amazing so far!

Here's a Mac OS Finder Issue that FinderFix could Fix:

Finder Column View is unique and probably the fastest way to navigate files on Mac.
You can always see the full path, interact with it, and navigate with your keyboard very efficiently.

But one Major Issue is that it doesn't display the complete file name of files.

The only option right now that Mac Os offers natively is to press ALT and then double click on the bottom of the vertical column separators (more precisely on the double vertical grey lines).

You can also right click at the same spot and you'll get 3 options to adjust column width.
By far the best one is "Adjust column width size individually".
But the worst part is that the Finder doesn't remember it so you'll have to do that over and over indefinitely.

THE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST WIDTH OF COLUMNS
To see complete file name of all files without manually adjust column width.

The "Adjust column width size individually" is the needed behaviour, so the function does exist in Mac OS.
But I know no way of assigning that function to a keyboard shortcut, or automate it every time you open a folder in column view. I'm sure you guys know more !

Xtrafinder and TotalFinder found the soultion years ago and it was working for a while but recently they don't work anymore and they are not really considering maintening their sofware...

FinderFix is Already Amazing but please Consider this Massive Time Waster Issue in Mac OS Finder, and Add the Solution to the Next Feature List of FinderFix.

THAT WOULD INDEED REALLY FIX THE FINDER !

Thank you Guys !

Hi @Barral39,

Your enhancement request comes with a very generous dose of passion and conviction 👍, so I'm pushing it to the front of my todo list. I'll do my best to implement it if it can be done without disabling the System Integrity Protection (SIP).

Thank you for your enthusiasm for FinderFix.

Awesome ! Thank you !

Yes Xtrafinder and Totalfinder ask users to disable SIP permanently and then they use a .osax file located in: /Library/ScriptingAdditions/ to inject the plugin into the finder. But even when following every instruction and using terminal command line : sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.libraryvalidation.plist DisableLibraryValidation
They tend to work on and off (mostly off lately) depending on the mac os release you're using. It's a bit of an unstable solution...

However I noticed that some apps get authorized to modify the finder via system preferences/extension/finder and usually it works fine...it might be a better way...Anyway thanks a lot for your answer I'll comeback later to see if there's any news about this.

I'm writing to express my excitement if this feature is a reality! I'm a paying customer of xtrafinder for this particular feature (and of course for some keyboard shortcut enhancement as well). If this feature is implemented without having to disable SIP, consider I'm a happy moving customer when FinderFix is out of beta :)
