Does anyone know how to script the check boxes for Date Modified, Size,
Kind, etc. in the view options for an OS X Finder window? (In list view)
The Applescript page at Apple has a few example scripts for Finder windows
but none of them explain how to do this.
Here is a sample snippet from their site: (This came from the script "Set
View Options" at
http://www.apple.com/applescript/toolbar/ )
*******
-- LIST VIEW OPTIONSusing terms from application "Finder" property sort_column : name column -- name column/modification date
column/creation date column/size column/kind column/label column/version
column/comment column property calc_indicator : true -- true/false property icon_type : large icon -- small icon/large icon property dates_indicator : true -- true/false property sort_direction : normal -- normal/reversed property list_options : {sort column:sort_column, calculates folder
sizes:calc_indicator, icon size:icon_type, uses relative
dates:dates_indicator}end using terms from
*******
It seems that we can script most of the other parameters of the View
settings except the columns and text size. You will notice that the
"sort_column" property has scripting parameters for the various columns ...
it seems that we just can't enable/disable them with a script.
*******
In OS 9 it looked like this:
set shows modification date of the first container window to falseset shows size of the first container window to false
set shows kind of the first container window to false
*******
These no longer work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
