List View Options

Remember that problem with not being able to change the visible of columns in list view. It showed up when Snow Leopard was released. Yesterday, I installed 10.6.8 and today I tested this problem again.
The following script seems to work correctly ...

property folderAlias : alias "OS_X:Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:test folder"
tell application "Finder"
activate
set winRef to window of folderAlias
set visible of column comment column of list view options of winRef to true -- or false
get visible of column comment column of list view options of winRef
display dialog the result
open winRef
end tell

I can switch between visible and invisible as desired. But does not mean that the problem is fixed. I include the 'comment' column in my defaults for list view, but I don't know (yet) if this influences this test.

I tried testing with other columns and could not get the column to actually become visible/invisible.
However, the 'display dialog ...' does display the correct information.

It seems that something has changed, but the problem does not seem to be fixed.

I will do some more experimenting with this. If you experiment, too, let us know what you find.
