Locking the Sidebar?

Posted:
in macOS edited January 2014
Is there a way to lock the sidebar so that it will show a certain amount of text or a large picture or whatever? Call me anal... which I probably am, but I was wondering if there was a way that whenever a new Finder window opened, it opened to this predetermined size (sidebar including):







Also, why is there an eject button on my network button?

    You can change the size of the sidebar with the little

    knob/button/dot/circle whatever, which is placed

    on the right bar in the sidebar. The right bar snaps

    within the longest text, that is in the sidebar.



    In generall, the finder remembers the last state of an given

    finder window, well, mostly.

    Check it out: close all finder windows, open a new window

    (CMD-N or by clicking into the finder dock icon), put the window

    into your preferred state. Close the window, open a new one.

    It should have exactly the same appearance.

    Attention please: this works only, if you have unchecked

    "open new finder window in column view" before (see: finder preferences).

    Well, you can mount a network volume or whatever your network is,

    so you can unmount it, say, eject?
