Product Description:

This little AppleScript program tells the Finder to update its front-most window. It is very useful when you work with image files and programs that add custom icons to files. For instance, if you use GraphicConverter to rotate your pictures, their icons will be rotated as well, but the Finder is not going to see the change until you restart it. That's what Update Finder Front Window is for: it tells the finder to update its icons in the frontmost window.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.2
  • Mac OS X 10.1

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.1 or higher

not work properly anymore since Mac OS X 10.2.4. The way the finder caches icons is becoming more and more mysterious to me. I had a bunch of pictures that I rotated using GraphicConverter and the Finder would not see the new orientation. My Applescript did not help, neither did quitting and restarting the finder: I had to restart the OS. I really do not know where the finder keeps its cache of icons. Maybe this will be fixed in 10.3 ? And yes, I know, I should not rate my own program. I did not notice the option with no stars, sorry.

when launched from the dock as the developer mentioned further down. It's not a good idea for the developer to rate his own product.
