Summary: 

The Applescript command “set position” is used to ask Finder to set the position of the icon a Finder item, such as a file, a folder and so on, in its container window. It works perfectly with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and other previous versions, but it does not work with Snow Leopard. After calling the command, the icon remain staying in the original position.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a folder named “Test” on the desktop, and put a file named “test.txt” in to the “Test” folder.
Launch the Script Editor application.
Run the following script

tell application "Finder"
	set test to folder "Test" of desktop
	open test
	tell window of test
		set current view to icon view
	end tell
	set opts to the icon view options of window of test
	tell opts
		set icon size to 128
		set arrangement to not arranged
		set label position to bottom
		set text size to 12
	end tell
	set position of item "test.txt" of test to {100, 100}
end tell


Expected Results:

The icon of test.txt should be move to position {100, 100}

Actual Results:

The icon does not move
