About

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 Thanks,
