Desktop Saver... One-click desktop icons position backup/restore.
This Applescript backups all positions of your desktop icons.
Making copies of it allows to save multiple "sets" of desktop icons placements.
Unsaved icons get selected after a restore.
If you rename it e.g. to "5 Desktop Saver" it will wait 5 seconds and then restore (useful to set it as startup item to restore removable disks icons).
What's New
Version 1.0.2: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
Has never failed. Saves the all the icons positions and restores them later if they get moved around. If there's extra icons it deals with it by still working and highlights the new icons.
Excellent! Does exactly what I need it to do! It would be nice to see the source code, though. Also, a feature to allow it to run without the prompt would be a nice addition.
