How Do I Manipulate Windows in AppleScript?

[JMichaelTX]

@JeffLambert670

Well, it doesn't work when running from my MacBook pro only, it's like it sees another resolution or the old resolution from that file.

There is no reason to depend on shell scripts for this, when both AppleScript (using ASObjC) and KM native Actions/Tokens/Functions can easily tell you which screen contains the frontmost window.

I'm not sure what other suggestions to offer at this point, because I'm confused on what exactly your current objective is.

In your OP, you stated:

@JeffLambert670

My goal here is I want to resize the windows of the front app but with conditionals.

If I have 1 or 2, set them to half the width of the screen.
if I have 3 or 4, set them at half the width and half the height, each in a corner
if I have 5 or 6, set them at 1/3 the width and half the height
if I have 7 or 8, set them at 1/4 the width and half the height

Has that question/goal been solved?

If so, please:

1. Check the "Solved" checkbox (click for details) at the bottom of that post that best solves it.
2. Post a new topic if you have other questions.

If not, please tell us specifically what the issue is, and post the script/macro that you are currently trying to make work.

Thanks.
