I'm not having any trouble storing all the characteristics of the columns in
user defaults and restoring them (in fact, I think I've got quite a clever
method of doing this). I'm having trouble with the fact that column live
autoresizing (when the user manually resizes the window) has gone away.
It's funny, but now that I look closer I see that other apps that have
dynamic columns don't solve this problem either! Neither iTunes nor the
Finder has any autoresizing at all - you resize the window and nothing
happens to the columns at all. What a cop-out. So I think my solution
(resizing after the user finishes the live resize) is actually better.
But what I'd really like is for column live autoresizing to work as
advertised. m.
