All commands throwing an error on El capitan beta (15A243d ) and iTerm Build 2.9.20150805-nightly

~/.termtile/tile.scpt: execution error: Finder got an error: Can’t get bounds of window of desktop. (-1728)

Do you have desktop enabled? Could you please post output from the following commands:

defaults read com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem
defaults read com.apple.finder CreateDesktop

[epicbagel]

defaults read com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem
2015-08-17 16:01:25.605 defaults[82252:6909771] 
The domain/default pair of (/Users/jon/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder, QuitMenuItem) does not exist

And

defaults read com.apple.finder CreateDesktop
0

[apaszke]

It's probably because CreateDesktop is set to 0. You can try to change it with

defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true

I'll have to rewrite checking screen sizes anyway, so it won't depend on AppleScript and Finder anymore. Stay tuned to #6

[Nishith]

For me it is: defaults read com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem -> 1 defaults read com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -> 0

Thanks, Nishith

Setting CreateDesktop to true fixes the issue. Thanks.

[apaszke]

@Nishith could you please reset CreateDesktop to 0 and check the newer version? It no longer depends on Finder so it should work anyway

[Nishith]

Works now with CreateDesktop set to 0. Also, works better with multiple monitors now. Thanks for the change.

Awesome :smiley:
