Another handy and related tip: Double Click on the Column Sizing Handle to Auto Size to the longest file name.

Hi, thank you for all your tips&tricks. I have a problem with Finder, since i didn’t yet figure out how to change default finder window size; i don’t mean the window that appears when you press command+N, but the one that is open when you create a new folder.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Here here! Great tip—I wonder how much time [and always added frustration] I went through increasing the size for each new window

Option works fine here… but… what is default? how to reset? commandline writing to a pref file somewhere?

Great tip thanks! I also noticed holding down the Option key whilst changing the window size affected the default window size.

It actually worked with command key and not option key for me.
