Hi there,
From: macster <email@hidden>
As said I'm new to Applescript out of a need that I'm sure Applescript
can do.
At our company we have a server volume where some folders are set to
view by icon and some by list. I need an Applescript that sets all
folders to list view.
Now I know how to set one folder via applescript but i dont know how to
set all folders within one disk to a set view. I take it I would use a
wildcard of some sort but cant find any info.
Please help me show Mac's are better in our company (we have 400 wintel
machines and 80 mac's) we had 60 macs when I started, help me make it
more.
Gerard
Your question has already been adequately answered by a few others...
The recursive solution was the best - and cleanest.
Are you using Mac OS X?
(There's some cool stuff you can do here as well.
e.g., I have a script called TwoFinderWindows.scpt that pretty much does
what it says except it places the windows in a tiled state - one with
Icon View and the other with Column view. Along with the Finder prefs
being set to always keep the same view this works well and allows me to
quickly navigate through a few different locations.)
I thought on OS 9 - it's been a while since I've checked - that you
could simply do a Get Info on a folder and set all sub-folders to the
same view, no?
with regards,
