| I just finished an erase and direct install of 10.6. (I don't remember why I thought I should first install 10.5. Perhaps a long forgotten conversation with someone when SL was first released.)
Note: When moving items from a backup Users folder to the new Users folder, avoid the temptation to move items directly. You will run into problems with file/folder ownership. Avoid these problems by first moving items to the desktop, then from the desktop into the new Users folder.
The new system is no longer creating the defective list view folders. This solves part of the problem.
I am still stuck with some defective folders. They aren't fixed automatically. I ran my test script, again ...
property testFolder : alias "Work_Files:untitled folder 2" 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 -- requires that window be closed, then opened to see the change set width of column name column of list view options of winRef to 300 -- OK sort direction of sort column of list view options of winRef -- always reversed = «constant ****srvs» end tell
Notice that the sort direction now works, but not until the window is closed, then opened. I will let you know more when I am able to do more scripting.
