I have a folder, that contains an invisible folder, that contains a
picture file, which is the background picture for the outer folder. I
want to move the picture file to the outer folder, trash the
invisible folder and set the background of the outer folder to white.
This code should do it ...
move pictFile to parentFolder
set background color of icon view options of (window of
parentFolder) to {65535, 65535, 65535}
quoted form of POSIX path of hiddenFolder
do shell script "rm -f -r " & the result
But, it doesn't work. The background picture persists until the
background is manually set to white. It was perhaps 8 months ago when
I last tried to get this to work. Last evening I tried again. After
trying everything that could possibly work and getting nowhere, I
tried something that couldn't possibly work. Ever. Not in a million
years. Here's the code ...
move pictFile to parentFolder
set background picture of icon view options of (window of
parentFolder) to hiddenFolder
-- this sets bg color to black
quoted form of POSIX path of hiddenFolder
do shell script "rm -f -r " & the result
-- now the bg color is white
It works! But this is NOT the way AppleScripting is supposed to work!
Surely something is very broken here and I should file a bug report.
But, first, has anyone had any experience with this that I should know about?
