I am trying to make a simple patch that controls some finder features.

Tried with [shell] or [aka.shell] some of the commands execute, but some not.

For example: osascript -e 'tell application \"Finder\" to close finder window {1}' works, but

osascript -e 'tell application \"Finder\" to set desktop position of item 1 of desktop to {100, 100}' not

Thus works in terminal.

hm.. Looks like the problem appears when I have a list of numbers {100, 100} or I don't know how to write it for the shell object.

Sorry, I've just re-read your original post, and you might not be trying to move windows. My bad! Either way, trying escaping your commas with a \ if something doesn't work!

[shell]+applescript, need help
