How would I write an applescript to recursively set the view options for all descendants of a folder to list view? I can set the view of a particular folder with a script like this:
tell application "Finder"
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "Applications" of folder "Developer" of startup disk
set current view of Finder window 1 to list view
end tell
But it appears that 'current view' is only a property of windows, not of folder objects themselves, which means I can't use 'every item of' (has that little bug been fixed yet?)
For that matter, *do* folders themselves even have a view setting anymore? The X finder if rather notorious for not remembering things you'd think it would (whether the sidebar of a particular folder is showing, view settings, window position when you open a folder in new window, etc)
