Finder window size & icon locations

  • Thread-topic: Finder window size & icon locations

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!

Sincerely,
