Is there a programmatic way to show/enable Comments Tab from Swift?
I currently have an app with a Finder Sync Extension displaying badges on Finder items.
I am so open to any other programmatic suggestion such as Apple Script.
Thank you.
How to Enable Finder Comments Tab Programmatically
Is there a programmatic way to show/enable Comments Tab from Swift?
I don’t understand what you mean by “Comments Tab”. Perhaps you could post a screen shot of what you’re looking for?

There is a comments column that can be enabled in Finder. I posted a screen shot of how to enable/show it manually. Is this possible programmatically, for example with Swift in a Finder Sync Extension?
OK, just for future reference, we call that the Comments column in Finder’s list view.
There’s certainly no API to manipulate Finder views.
On the AppleScript front, it seems like Finder has infrastructure to support this. For example:
tell application "Finder"
set visible of column comment column of list view options of Finder window 1 to true
end tell
Unfortunately I can’t get it to work. When I run the above on my machine (running 12.3.1) it doesn’t error but it also doesn’t do anything )-:
