StandardViewOptions ?
Authored by: billearl on Apr 21, '02 06:13:49PM

My com.apple.finder.plist doesn't have a StandardViewOptions section. I even created a new com.apple.finder.plist file by trashing the old one and rebooting. It does have a TrashOptions section which I assume is in similar format.

How do I force a StandardViewOptions section to be created in com.apple.finder.plist ?

StandardViewOptions ?
Authored by: billearl on Apr 21, '02 07:17:06PM

Okay, I somehow managed to get it to create a StandardViewOptions section by playing with test folders and the Show View Options menu command, but not sure how to duplicate this.

A virgin (newly created) com.apple.finder.plist file does NOT have a StandardViewOptions section, so one must obviously be created before it can be modified. People will need to know how to do this.

I guess I can figure it out myself, but would appreciate input on this.
