Subject: The Squeegee Collection - AppleScripts for setting OS8 Finder P
Prior to MacOS 8, you could set your Finder prefs globally, via the Views
control panel. Now, you need to do this for _each_ window separately, and
this can be very tedious.
The Squeegee Collection is a set of 15 AppleScript droplets that automate
this task. With the collection, you can set your windows to be viewed by
Icon, Small Icon, or List, and sorted by Name, Modification Date, Size,
Kind, or now with this version, Label.
To use, just drag a folder or disk onto one of the droplets. It will
recursively set all folders within the folder or disk you select to the
same setting. It will also set the window to the upper left of the
screen, and use the minimum amount of screen space to show every item in
the window, assuming there aren't too many items.
System Requirements:
Any Macintosh or compatible running AppleScript and MacOS 8
Jon's Commands scripting addition, widely available online
