Thanks for all your help Paul.
The script I am working on is to remember where all my desktop icons
are/were and move them to where they were on startup. Specifically my
numerous disks which tend to get spread around when the desktop gets
cluttered.
Pretty trivial.
There was a script that did this in OS 9 using persistent variables.
I think persistent variables are not an option in OS X so I was writing the
positions to a file.
Now I just figured out that the "position" property applies to a finder
window only and not the actual desktop. (in OS 9 it applied to both)
Any idea where the positions for desktop icons are stored?
Anyway there is probably a better way to do this.
If it is worth doing at all.
Thanks again.
JP
