Column View of Finder needs to be able to show widest contained folder/file names.
Each time I use Column View I must click on the buttons at the bottom of the vertical scrollbars to adapt the width of the browsed columns to the widest contained folder/file name !
When mouse is hovering an item which doesn't entirely fit in the column a tooltip needs to be displayed over the item to show whole item name.

Finder: No way to refresh a window
There is no way to refresh a Finder window's view. This is a big problem particularly when accessing network volumes when other people or processes have modified files, because the current view of a folder cannot be relied upon to reflect the actual (more...)

When iTunes is backing up the iPod and installing the software update, you are unable to use iTunes for playing music or do anything else, while if you synchronize the iPod it just backs up in the background (and installs apps in the background).
