[comp.sys.mac] Finder/desktop behavior

dorner@uxg.cso.uiuc.edu (08/20/88)

I've noticed that the finder from System 6.0 treats icons on the desktop
differently from previous finders.  I have a (Network Specialties) large
screen attached to my SE, and like to keep frequently used programs on
the desktop, on the SE's internal screen.  Occasionally, I have to boot
without the big screen.  Previous finders moved all those icons on to
the (now smaller) desktop, and saved their new positions.  The next time
I booted with the large screen on, I had to move the icons back to their
old positions.

The new finder seems not to do this; undisplayable icons get moved to
into view, but the positions are not saved, and return to normal when I
turn the large screen back on.

Has anyone else noticed this?
