Create identical tiled windows in most apps via AppleScript
Authored by: mbrowne on Feb 24, '08 03:37:43PM
If you get the error "NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4" when trying to run this script, you might need to enable GUI scripting. I think actually a system update to the latest version of Mac OS Tiger may have turned it off (not sure though, as I didn't try this script before then). I had to open the AppleScript utility ("/Applications/AppleScript/AppleScript Utility.app") and check "Enable GUI Scripting" and then it worked..xexcept not in Finder, which is mainly what I needed it for, but thanks anyway for posting.

There's a nice ApplesScript application called 2Finder that I found to get the tile effect in Finder (with 2 windows at least). You might need to alter some properties at the beginning of the script (as I did) if your dock is not set to auto-hide.
