How to modify Grid Spacing ?

Hi,

 

some years ago, I changed the grid spacing on many (if not all) folders created during many years.

 

Regularly, I fall into one of these folders and I want to go back to the OS standard grid line spacing and I do not know how to do that.

 

Earlier today, I made a simple script to delete the .DS_Store file, but no success: Grid Spacing is apparently not stored there (AFAIK).

 

Worst; the .DS_Store file is re-created as soon as I can run the script a second time to check if the invisible file is still here: I can see it reappearing in front of my eyes.

 

I then added a Finder quit instruction and it is no re-created as fast.

 

I even restart the Macintosh once I was sure the file was deleted… The target folder (once opened) have changes (the items location have changed), but the Grip Spacing is the same.

 

BTW: I just realized that I do not say that I was working on a closed folder to avoid any automatic rebuid of the .DS_Store file.

 

Now, I am at short of idea to how to reset the Grid Spacing value on these folders (or on all folders).

 

The only one solution I can see is to create a new folder and move the data from the old one with the 'wrong' Grid Spacing into the new one: very long work and I am not sur that this is not useless.

 

Every idea will be considered,

 

TIA,

 

Emile
