Hi,
This is a simple script to tile my windows 2-up vertically in the Finder
tell application "Finder"
--bring to front
activate
--set windows
set TwoUpWindowList to {{0, 45, 575, 975}, {576, 45, 1151, 975}}
set openWindowList to name of every Finder window whose collapsed is
false
repeat with i from 1 to count of items in openWindowList
tell Finder window i
if i mod 2 = 1 then
set the bounds to item 1 of TwoUpWindowList
else
set the bounds to item 2 of TwoUpWindowList
end if
set the current view to list view
set index to 1 --this brings the window frontmost
end tell
end repeat
end tell
It works correctly, but when I have Quark 6 running, the bounds
parameters get rearranged and the windows tile horizontally.
I can run the script from Script Debugger 3.0.6, from the Script Menu
or from iKey and it behaves the same.
I have tried this on 2 computers. One is a 733Mhz G4 running OS X
10.2.6, and the other is a 800Mhz G4 running OS X 10.2.8. I get the
same behavior.
When Quark 6 is not running, the windows tile vertically and when Quark
6 is running, the windows tile horizontally.
This suggest to me, that Quark 6 is altering the System at some low
level, which, I believe, would be a violation of Apple's programming
guidelines.
I am wondering if others are experiencing this problem.
Buzz Hill
