Hi Wayne!

Yep, you found the same Finder bug we did. It doesn't seem to want to save the settings unless you click the grow box or sizing widget. Here is what we did to get around it:

[snip]


-- this poop is to fix a Finder bug. It wont record the size of the window without a mouseclick
set loop to true
activate
repeat while loop is true
display dialog "click grow box" giving up after 2
if button returned of result is "ok" then
set loop to false
else
delay 2
end if
end repeat

Yes, that did the trick. Thanks! Now I've got to figure out, how to do this without manual interaction...



        -- mark the main window to open up when mounted
        do shell script "bless -openfolder /Volumes/Solutions"

That was the other trick I had already solved. Thanks anyway!


And yes, I DO like AppleScript. Enjoy!

Well, it's one tool I use too. It's powerful but sometimes also very limited.



Thanks for your help! If I find a solution to automate everything I'll post it to the list.
