This only works for new folders you create in Finder, good implementation, much better than in Tiger. Unfortunately this does not influence the columns displayed in Spotlight results.

I suppose you mean PrefPane 1.0.6 (10.5+) on that site. Installed it now ........ and ... Yeaaaaaahhhhhhh! That did the trick! Now I have all the columns I need (added version, label, and size).
The Secrets PrefPane is a bit sluggish. I couldn't activate all the settings I wanted in one go, only one at a time. In between I had to restart the finder each time. Don't know if that is normal. Maybe it is not yet optimized for Snow Leopard.
By the way, what does "Maximum label lines" in Secrets PrefPane > Finder mean? It was "1" and I increased it to "2" in the hope of gaining more colors in Finder to choose from, but nothing changed. I don't see any difference.
