With Applescript, I would like to be able to access the "Arrange By:" feature of a Finder List Window. And set it to "None".

Hey Bob,

This appears to be completely frelled.

tell application "Finder"
repeat 3 times
tell front window
set winTarget to its target
set current view to icon view
tell its icon view options
set arrangement to not arranged
delay 0.02
set arrangement to arranged by name
delay 0.02
set arrangement to not arranged
end tell
end tell
update winTarget
tell front window
set current view to list view
set current view to icon view
end tell
end repeat
end tell

Even with the repeats and the update it doesn't stick.

The only way I see to make it work is Cmd-Control-0, and sometimes that doesn't work until the Finder's menus have been opened once...

Buggy.

Chris
