At 10:30a -0700 09/04/2003, Sung Kim didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:
I resized windows (for creating a CD image/directory) in MacOS 9 using "set
size of container window of abc to {x,y}" but that doesn't work in X anymore.
Based on advice I got before from this list, I used other means (e.g. setting
boundary and position) to do this, but when I restart on 9, I find that the
settings do not take told.
I'm not sure where this info is being stored (file's FinderInfo data
structure?), but it's obviously accessible via AppleScript (in 9). Is the same
data accessible via AppleScript in X?
Maybe it's because of the multiple-user paradigm in X? We go back and forth
between 9 and X still, and we need to set these settings in the "real"
location versus in the admin's or individual user's desktop database. I hope
the question makes sense. Thank you!
The question makes sense, but the answer does not. ;)
Sadly, OS X and OS 7/8/9 store the info differently, and neither
knows how to read the other's format. Same deal with clipping files;
OS X does not use and does not read the 'fwst' resource. It should be
easy, but Apple didn't do it.
Oh well.
