Need program to auto arrange icons
It's me again. I am running os3.1 and I am looking for a application to auto arrange my icons. It's driving me mad. Icons all over the place.

Hi,
Maybe not the answer you're after... Right-Click icon(s) & Snapshot their position. They should then stay put. Is something moving them? The Ram Disk icon is not normally Snapshotable & when it relocates to its default position on a reboot it can move others about too. ( v. annoying ) I keep the following lines in my S/User-Startup: ;Begin Set Ram/Env Icon Position Copy Workbench:Prefs/Presets/ramdisk.info to ram:disk.info Copy Workbench:Prefs/Presets/envdisk.info to env:disk.info ;END Set Ram/Env Position ( This will make sure the rogue icon(s) stay put............ ) ;Begin ReSnapshot Ram/Env Icon Position ;Copy ram:disk.info to Workbench:Prefs/Presets/ramdisk.info ;Copy env:disk.info to Workbench:Prefs/Presets/envdisk.info ;END ReSnapshot Ram/Env Position ( Run the above commands(s) minus ';' in a shell window *AFTER* you Right-Click-Snapshot your icon(s) to save their position. ) If env:disk.info means nothing to you, ignore those lines... Workbench: may have a different name on your setup, Sys: should do if you don't know. I seem to remember from another post you have OS3.5. I'm pretty sure you'll find a script for auto-arranging icons in the contribs folder. You'll still need to snapshot them after. No idea if this will work in 3.1. Maybe Aminet can help?

All you have to do is press Right-Amiga + full-stop (period). It will auto-arrange itself. Alternatively, select all of your icons in the window and Unsnapshot them. When you open the window next time, they will arrange nicely because none of them will have embedded position information.
