Finder Window Position Help

  • Thread-topic: Finder Window Position Help

My goal is to have this script reposition various windows and save them as
their new position/state...

I tried the script below - which works fine for what I want - but when I
close and reopen the window it does not retain the boundary position.




tell application "Finder"
    activate
    select Finder window 1
    set current view of Finder window 1 to list view
    set bounds of Finder window 1 to {5, 45, 1000, 900}
end tell

BTW: often from a window - I'll have things set so I can control-click on a
folder and open it in a new window - this is the one I want to be in the new
position...

Q: How can I get the finder window to retain it's new position
(location)/state so that when I open it next time it will be in this new
place (without re running the script)...?
