Who will have a use for Neatnik?
? Well, people who like things neat, for starters.
? Everyone else. As the power and capacity of our computers increases,
the amount of information and the number of files we own increases.
Too much information with too little organization results in wasted
time and effort. Neatnik is a tool for visually organizing your
desktop. Neatnik will save you from infoglut.
? People preparing a CD-ROM or floppy disk for publication will
appreciate Neatnik as an easy and automated way to prepare the disk so
that its folders open in neatly arranged positions, and with their
other characteristics set up consistently.
? With the introduction of Mac OS 8, Neatnik becomes more widely
useful. There are now many different ways to view the contents of a
folder, and each folder can be different. But setting these ?view?
options is often a chore. Mac OS 8.5 allows you to set a folder to
?Standard Views?, or alternatively to set each of its options
individually. With Neatnik you can set a easily set the view
characteristics, as well as the size and position attributes, of a
batch of folders, based upon the characteristics you set for the
?parent? folder -- the folder that contains the other folders.

Neatnik works under Mac OS 7.5 and later, but it has some enhanced
features when used under Mac OS 8.
Requires the scriptable Finder. The Finder in System 7.5.x and 7.6.x
is scriptable, provided the extension ?Finder Scripting Extension? is
included in your Extensions folder. This extension is part of the
standard System installation. Mac OS 8.0 and later don?t require this
extension.
