One of my scripts sets bounds of folder windows. There seems to be a
problem with the bounds not sticking with some folders.
I couldn't get 'set bounds' to stick under 10.4.9 but it's been fine
under 10.5. My workaround was to make a different change to the
window which would trigger the save:
tell application id "com.apple.finder"
tell front window
set bounds to {MyX, MyY, MyX + MyWidth, MyY + MyHeight}
set current view to icon view
-- Now we destroy our exact placement to get the bounds change to
stick (OS X 10.4.9)
--tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder" to click
button 2 of window 1 -- Zoom
--tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder" to click
button 2 of window 1
end tell
end tell
You could also try deleting the .DS_Store file in the problem folder
and maybe its parent folder.
Another cause might be because the changes are only written
periodically, so if Finder crashes you can lose the last x folder
changes.
AFAIK there's no documentation and no-one's been able to decipher
the .DS_Store files. I wish they were .plists or similar.
Cheers
