Chalk it up as one more suggestion.

Sure, and Omni is planning on providing the ability to resize columns -- see http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthre...8907#post18907.

1. Download Pref Setter from versiontracker.com and use it to open "com.omnigroup.OmniFocus.plist" (in the home "Preferences" folder).

NOTE: You might want to make a backup of the plist first.

2. Add a "Key" at the top level using one (or more) of the names that Xmas gave in this post.

3. Set the "Class" to "Number" and the "Value" to whatever you want. For example, I used "200" for the "ContextColumnWidth".

4. Save plist. Close OF and reopen. See if you like the width you chose. If not, rinse and repeat.

One setting (called a "Key") is "Saved Perspectives." If you drill down, you will find a name for each perspective and can edit it.

You can also delete individual perspectives. That might help until Omni includes the renaming and managing features planned.

P.S. You can also set column widths while you're there, but you have to add keys for that using the names that Xmas gave in an earlier post. That's how I found this work-around. I didn't want to use terminal to set the column width defaults.
