thank you again for your mails. Now, I am totally confused and not amused!
As I reported before, the 'first window' didn't move at all when scripted. By accident then I adressed window 2, and voilà, it did what it should (using 'size' and 'position' as you suggested, 'bounds' are not working).
Then, I asked for the name of window 2 and got the result I see on top of the window of the jpg-file on the screen:
tell application "System Events"
get name of window 2 of application process "Preview"
--> "1966_12_25_Michaelkalender.jpg"
end tell
Asking for the name of window 1 I got nothing:
tell application "System Events"
get name of window 1 of application process "Preview"
end tell
Then, I repeated everything from the scratch starting 'Preview' with double clicking a random jpg.-file >> same result. Then, I repeated everything from the scratch starting 'Preview' with double clicking a random jpg.-file on my MacBook >> same result.
Therefore, when I use in the script the name of the window instead of the number, everything seems to be OK!
Could you tell me by chance what's all about the 'ghost' window 1 of Preview.app ?
Thanks for your patience Jobst I don't know what is this ghost window.
For safe, you may ask the name of every windows and look at it.
Given what wrote Robert (its original script does the trick), maybe Preview starts the window numbering to 2 so that its first window is not window 1 but window 2 ????
