- Thread-topic: Move items to Trash - how to get "will get deleted immediately" warning shown?
I've written a small tool that shows lists of files
(http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/).
I want it to support moving files to the Trash.
To get this working so that the move can be undone in the Finder using its
Undo command, I like to ask the Finder to move the files to the trash.
Hence, I'm sending it a "move" command with "insh", "trsh" and the files as
arguments. And that works fine.
Problem is that some disks do not have a sustainable Trash and then the move
operation deletes the files immediately, without warning.
When I trash those files in the Finder, the Finder will bring up a
confirmation dialog telling my that they'll get deleted immediately.
I like to do this in my app, too. Either I need to know what rules apply as
to when the Finder decides (or knows) that the files will be deleted so that
I can bring up my own warning, or I need to know if I can pass another
argument to the Applescript command that makes the Finder show this dialog.
Any suggestions?
