WindowResizer

=============

An [Alfred 2](http://www.alfredapp.com/) Workflow that will resize windows to exact pixel dimensions.

Installation

=============

Download the [workflow](https://github.com/GarthDB/WindowResizer/releases) file and double click it to install it in Alfred.

Usage

=============

The worklow is simple.  It just resizes the topmost window to the pixel dimensions entered.  Format the dimensions as `WIDTHxHEIGHT` (replacing `WIDTH` and `HEIGHT` with the size in pixels).

Exmaple:

```

resizer 400x500

```

Script

===

The actual AppleScript is:

```AppleScript

to splitString(aString, delimiter)

	set retVal to {}

	set prevDelimiter to AppleScript's text item delimiters

	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {delimiter}

	set retVal to every text item of aString

	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to prevDelimiter

	return retVal

end splitString

on alfred_script(q)

	set newDimensions to splitString(q as text, "x")

	tell application "System Events"

		set frontApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true

	end tell

	

	try

		tell application frontApp

			set current to bounds of the first window

			tell window 1

				set the bounds to {item 1 of current, item 2 of current, (item 1 of current) + (item 1 of newDimensions), (item 2 of current) + (item 2 of newDimensions)}

			end tell

		end tell

	on error errMsg

		tell application "System Events" to tell application process frontApp

			tell window 1

				set size to {item 1 of newDimensions, item 2 of newDimensions}

			end tell

		end tell

	end try

	

end alfred_script

```
