At 13:40 +0200 05/04/2005, Emile Schwarz wrought:
tell application "Finder"
set position of front window to {0, 44}
end tell
With Tiger, this (seems to) works at first, but if you close the
window and reopen it, that window returns in the previous window
location.
...
At this point, I would say: "It¹s a bug!". But since Tiger shows so
many differences from Panther (and other previous Mac OS X
versions), that it may be a simple difference / I have to make some
change to make it work with Tiger.
Agh! Not a return to that evil bug (from Mac OS 9.0?)
It goes nicely with the fact that opening/closing a folder in
List-View via the keyboard does NOT stick - you have to use the mouse
and *click* (same thing in Panther). <grumph>
It seems to me that I used to get around that by zooming/unzooming
the front window after moving it, but an attempt to do so here fails:
tell front window
set its bounds to {0, 44, 544, 592}
set zoomed to (not zoomed)
set zoomed to (not zoomed)
end tell
--> Finder got an error: Can't continue .
This one's really going to give me a headache until it's fixed,
'cause I use keyboard shortcuts to move and resize windows every
day...
