Small applescript that makes the finder window really large then back to its original size to force the name column to resize fluidly. Used to fix a bug in OSX Mavericks whereby the name column is randomly wider than the window. Best to use a tool such as BTT to bind it to a keyboard shortcut, I used CMD + E.

finder-resize.scpt

tell application "Finder"
  tell the front Finder window
    -- get the current bounds of the finder window
    set b to the bounds
    -- create a really wide window
    set the bounds to {item 1 of b, item 2 of b, 3000, item 4 of b}
    -- set window back to its original size
    set the bounds to b
  end tell
end tell
