See Hidden Columns in a Narrow Pane
Why some columns disappear when a pane is narrow, and how to get them back.
When a pane gets narrow, the app hides columns to make room. It hides the least useful ones first, such as Owner and Permissions. Name never hides. Ext and Modified are the last ones to go.
A pane always shows at least three columns. To let a pane hide down to Name alone, choose Settings > Appearance, find the Columns section and set In Narrow Panes to Hide Down to Name. The order the columns hide in is Column Order in the same section.
Get the Columns Back
Try these, in order:
- Make the window wider. Drag its right edge to the right.
- Hide the sidebar with ⌥⌘S.
- Hide the preview with ⌥⌘P.
- In Settings > Appearance, find Fold the Sidebar and turn it off. The sidebar then stays open when the window is narrow.
