Visual folder
Visual folder
This script will automatically detect the position of an item (detached or not) relatively from the actual screen, and then apply it to a folder.
You need to run it from the long click menu. (It will detect if the item is a folder or not)
The data is saved and applied once.
Instructions:
– Copy paste this script, check the ‘show in item menu’
– Place an item (not a folder) and change their size as you want, relative to the screen itself, not the desktop (you can be far away from the main page)
– Run the script. The position/size will be saved.
– Run the script in a folder. Apply.
(- Now you can delete the previous item if you want.)
{Improved thanks to TBog suggestion}

I would suggest keeping all data related to a script in one variable as to minimize other scripts overwriting each other’s info by mistake.

Curtis Sylvester Jr. The script editor is like an app. It is shown in the app drawer. As usual, try refreshing it.
