Apple

Notice the comments in this script ...

property testFolder : alias "Work_Files:untitled folder"

tell application "Finder"

activate

set winRef to window of testFolder

-- the window of the test folder is open and in list view

set sort column of list view options of winRef to name column -- OK

set sort direction of sort column of list view options of winRef to normal -- ineffective

set width of column name column of list view options of winRef to 1000 -- ineffective

sort direction of sort column of list view options of winRef -- always reversed = «constant ****srvs»

end tell

It seems that the display of list view windows in my installation of Snow Leopard is badly broken. All newly created list view windows open with a narrow name column in reversed order and changes are not saved. (But folders created by the previous system installation are OK.)

Is this an AppleScript problem or a system problem?
