Example usage from the command line:
osascript resize.scpt split "Brave Browser" "Obsidian" 70
osascript resize.scpt
– Run the script as an Applescriptsplit
– Command function (I might add more in the future)"Brave Browser"
– Application to place on the left side"Obsidian"
– Application to place on the right side70
– Percentage of the application on the rightResult: Brave Browser gets fills the left 70% of the screen, Obsidian the right 30%.
I like to use this with Bunch App for window placement.
