What Is Folder Action Windowing?

  • One window / multi-view or browser-style Finder navigation most of the time
  • Resizing / Re-positioning often-used windows but want them to reset to stored size and position when next opened
  • Specific ToolBar / SideBar appearance settings
  • Then FAwindowing can help!

A Folder Action AppleScript the User attaches to a folder that will allow setting and restoring the following Finder window features:

  1. Window size and location on the screen
  2. View, as in Icon / List / Column
  3. Set ToolBar visibility and, in Tiger, SideBar visibility and width

A FAwindowing script can be attached to more than window when similar configuration for multiple windows is desired
