Hello all,
I was messing with UIElementInspector and the Finder (10.3.8), and
noticed some slightly strange behavior.
- If the finder window is in List mode, then none of the files show up
in UIElementInspector (i.e. Finder doesn't expose a AXFinderItem).
- If the finder window is in Icon mode, then they do show up as
AXFinderItems, but it seems that Finder moves the item that I Lock
onto. To see this, open up a finder window in icon mode, Lock onto one
of the icons and choose highlight in the interaction window, and then
select one of the other icons in the finder window. Then hit refresh on
the interaction window and you will see that the AXFinderItem you
locked onto is now a different one (and it's even different than the
one that you selected in Finder)...it seems to be a cyclical pattern.
- If the finder window is in Column mode, then the icons show up as
AXFinder Items, and this weird "moving" behavior doesn't happen and
everything works as you'd expect.
- When you switch between modes, the AXFinderItem becomes undefined.
Wouldn't we expect that it would be constant regardless of view mode?
Now are these just quirks of Finder and the AX API, or is it something
else weird? Any info or insights would be appreciated...I feel like I'm
going a bit crazy...
- Matt
