This issue is related to **TotalFinder not saving column width view settings in list view.**

Alfred.app has a protocol that allows it to launch a file or folder with a hotkey.  
I use this to jump to a folder in Finder for stuff I’m currently working on.

When I use this commend to jump to and open a folder, it always displays truncated in list view by default, I can change the columns, but Finder never remembers what I change them to and the next time I open the folder the columns are all crunched up again.

I believe that is error is a TotalFinder one rather than related to Alfred because with TotalFinder not running, the Alfred command works and displays the folder with remembered view and column settings as OS X does naturally.

I will include screenshots to aid in addressing this issue.
