Hi all,
sometimes since I installed Tiger (10.4, on April 30th, 2005; PowerBook
15", 1.5GHz, August 2004), I get a oversized window - and this is
clearly a bug; one of the many I found - and I do not know why nor how
to resize that window.
To be able to show you what happens, I wrote:
tell application "Finder"
return properties of front window
end tell
That window shows some icons and the rest of the window is nor
accessible because it is far below the monitor screen. And because no
scroll bar is available (the window is zoomed at its max), I do not know
how to access the icons that are out of the monitor boundaries.
Here's the result of the script:
{class:Finder window, id:31, name:"imgs", position:{0, 44}, bounds:{0,
44, 1088, 2053}, index:1, zoomed:false, closeable:true, titled:true,
floating:false, modal:false, resizable:true, zoomable:true,
visible:true, collapsed:false, target:folder "imgs" of folder "Peanuts
1962" of folder "The Sunday Peanuts" of folder "Vendredi 7-15 avril
2006" of startup disk of application "Finder", current view:icon view,
icon view options:icon view options of Finder window id 31 of
application "Finder", list view options:list view options of Finder
window id 31 of application "Finder", column view options:column view
options of Finder window id 31 of application "Finder", toolbar
visible:false, statusbar visible:true, sidebar width:0}
The view is by Icons, 128 pixels, snap to grid, display infos and
preview file (instead of default application icon)...
Yes, you read correctly: "bounds:{0, 44, 1088, 2053}"; 1088 is OK for a
1280 x 854 PowerBook 15" screen, but 2053 pixels tall is a bit too much:
nearly three times the available monitor height.
Since the 10.4 original bug on position and bounds have not been
corrected (even on Tiger 10.4.7!) more than 14 month after the original
release (original bug...), I have to ask here:
did you know how I can resize "to the original hardware screen" ?
TIA,
Emile
PS: I use DVD-RW to store file until I can use the Finder to place
(position + width + height / bounds) the icons in the windows correctly
and then burn a lot of archives DVD-R.
