Works great - additional ideas
Authored by: sinjin on Oct 17, '03 11:13:27AM
Hey theArtistEL, we are of the same mind!
Nicely at this point, I can close, hide, or minimize MyTop and, swhick, the desktop is front, centre, and clear for presentation.
I too, do whatever I can to keep my Desktop clear and created a folder exactly like your "MyTop" to store the clutter instead. You may want to check out my hint that has a very basic folder action for automatically moving stuff that ends up on the Desktop to "MyTop", that is if you want that automated.

Anyhow, I love your folder actions, this hint is exactly what I was looking for - until now I found it somewhat tedious to move stuff from "MyTop" since the target folder never seemed to open the way "it should". Very nice.

Thanks!

PS I find it a bit annoying how Applescripts like these make the windows seem to flash a few times while executing. Is this a "feature" to say "look, I'm running"? Is there a way to disable this?

I'm not privy to the truth, but I think that the Finder window loses focus when the script runs. For example, when running the Save Tabs in Safari script (elsewhere on the site), when the script is done, the Safari window hasn't been properly re-targeted...
