You can see in the code what the bounds info looks like and how it's applied. You might want to copy and paste this info into TextEdit to do a bit of parsing and have the info ready to copy and paste into the script, as will be needed.įrom the information gathered you'll primarily want two pieces of info for each target Finder window, its name and bounds. In the Results pane, you'll see a lot of information that may look impossible to discern, however it won't be that difficult. Tell application "Finder" to get properties of windows Open Script Editor and in a new window that has no code in it, use the following command to get the proprieties of the arranged opened target Finder windows:

Note: To make it easier, by having less information to parse in the next step, close all other Finder windows. To use this script you'll need to gather information from your fully configured scenario and make the necessary code changes and to do that, do the following:įirst, open the target folders and arrange them on the screen(s) to suite your needs/wants. The script opens the four example target Finder windows, sets the view requirements and arranges them on the Thunderbolt Display as shown in the image below.

Note: See comments in the code if wanting to set a picture or color for a common background of all target folder Finder windows wanting to be displayed and arranged.įor the test environment I used my MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt Display configured with the MacBook Pro as the main screen with Menu bar and the Thunderbolt Display to its right. Other configurations will require additional logic and or coding.

no Path Bar, Preview pane, Toolbar, Sidebar or Status Bar showing, just a plain window in Icon view with the Title Bar showing the Department name with the picture icons showing a preview of the image and set to a given size with the label shown below the image. The sample script below is coded with the following assumptions, you want the target Finder windows to be as plain as possible, i.e.
