Expand Finder Columns Quickly
Column view in the Finder is great for navigating through your disk's hierarchy, but the columns often aren't wide enough to show the full names of all the files. To expand a column to a width that will show all file names in their entirety, double-click the handle that you would normally drag to expand or shrink the column. To expand all the visible columns to that width, Option-double-click the handle.

We offer a free weekly mailing of 5–10 of our top articles along with regular features, such as important software updates and worthwhile reading elsewhere on the Web. The Issue versions contain the full text of all articles. The Announcement versions contain only article titles, a brief summary, and links to the full articles. Both versions are available in plain-text and HTML versions.
Also, we fund TidBITS in part through a paid membership program, and TidBITS members can choose to receive new articles as soon as they are posted throughout the week, among much else. See the full list of TidBITS member benefits.
