Help With Finder Scripts / Automator

Hi,

Here is an AppleScript to start.

------------------

set screenBounds to {0, 44, 1920, 1640} -- screen rect, change according to your needs.
set aName to "Shoot" -- some folder name to rename each created folder
set targetFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select the directory to create folders"
display dialog "How many folders you want to create." default answer "10"
set n to (text returned of the result) as integer

---** create folder **---
repeat with i from 1 to n
    if i < 10 then
        set x to aName & "0" & i
    else
        set x to aName & i
    end if
    tell application "Finder" to make new folder at targetFolder with properties {name:x}
end repeat

set nWind to 3 ---**  create Finder Window **---
tell screenBounds to set {h, b} to {((item 4) - (item 2) + ((22 * nWind) + 22)) div nWind, it}
set item 4 of b to h
repeat with i from 1 to nWind
    tell application "Finder" to tell (make new Finder window)
        set target to targetFolder
        set bounds to b
    end tell
    set h1 to item 4 of b
    tell b to set {item 2, item 4} to {h1 + 22, h1 + h - 22}
end repeat

Since I don't have enough information, the script will not be as you wish, so please don't hesitate to ask the necessary additions or change to this script.

Hi,

Just ran the scripts.

The three window script (the 2nd one) did throw back an error

The firsts lines of script are needed, because I thought it was for the same script.

Here is a script for Finder windows only:

--------------

set r to do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler −detailLevel mini SPDisplaysDataType | awk '/Resolution/{print $2 \" \" $4}'" -- get display's width and height
set {x, y, w, h} to {0, 22, (word 1 of r) as integer, (word 2 of r) as integer}
set targetFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select a directory to set the target of each Finder window"

set nWind to 3 ---**  the number of  Finder Window to create **---
tell (h div nWind) to set {h, a} to {it, it}
repeat with i from 1 to nWind
    tell application "Finder" to tell (make new Finder window)
        set target to targetFolder
            set bounds to {x, y + 22, w, h}
    end tell
    set {y, h} to {h, h + a}
end repeat

If you want the default window's target:

----------------

set r to do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler −detailLevel mini SPDisplaysDataType | awk '/Resolution/{print $2 \" \" $4}'" -- get display's width and height
set {x, y, w, h} to {0, 22, (word 1 of r) as integer, (word 2 of r) as integer}
set nWind to 3 ---**  the number of  Finder Window to create **---
tell (h div nWind) to set {h, a} to {it, it}
repeat with i from 1 to nWind
    tell application "Finder" to tell (make new Finder window)
        set bounds to {x, y + 22, w, h}
    end tell
    set {y, h} to {h, h + a}
end repeat
