olivier
on adding folder items to parent_folder after receiving added_items
set moved to true
repeat with CurrentItem in added_items
if alias of (get info for CurrentItem) is false then
tell application "Finder" to move CurrentItem to desktop
else
set moved to false
end if
end repeat
if moved is false then
tell application "Finder"
set parent_folder to folder "Untitled folder"
set popup of container window of parent_folder to false
set Saved_Size to (size of container window of parent_folder)
set Saved_Width to item 1 of Saved_Size
set zoomed of container window of parent_folder to true
set new_Size to size of container window of parent_folder
set new_Height to item 2 of new_Size
set size of container window of parent_folder to {Saved_Width,
new_Height}
set popup of container window of parent_folder to true
end tell
end if
end adding folder items to
