Hi Dave et al.,
I am sorry to have to report the following:
tell application "Finder"
set bounds of front window to {0, 44, 100, 100}
return properties of front window
end tell
When run, the script does its job. BUT, close the window, open it
and you get the window back to the previous location and widh/
height...
This appears in the original 10.4, 10.4.1, 10.4.2.
Thanks; we are now tracking this better in Radar.
I haven't yet tried the following workaround (offered in one of the
bug reports), which is said to make the change stick. After setting
the bounds, change the "toolbar visible" property and then change it
back:
set toolbar visible of theWindow to true
set toolbar visible of theWindow to false
-- or false, true
(It won't be pretty to watch it run, but for some purposes it's
better than nothing.)
I have others (plenty) like view per icon, 16 pixels, snap to grid
who acts 'random' (and worst, sometimes the window background moves
when I 'move an item' (that item is in the middle of the window).
Worst, I fear to move item who is in the first line or column...
most of the time, the inside of the window moves to the bottom or
to the right (depending on the col/line of the 'moved' original icon).
Moving more than 5 items does not make them snap to grid but also
'random'...
We do have a Radar bug for 16-pixels / snap to grid not sticking, but
I'm not sure I understand the rest. -- When you say that the "window
background" or the "inside of the window" moves, are all the icons
shifting? And do they shift in the same manner if you move the icon
using the mouse, instead of from a script?
Do you have a runnable script that demonstrates moving 5 items at
once? I can try to write one, but I'll be guessing (is it 5 separate
"set position of ..." statements, or somehting else?).
Cheers,
--Dave
