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?

Hello Thomas,

Wouldn't Finder's command "delete" just reproduce the behavior shown by the Finder in the GUI?
By directly moving items to the trash, it is very likely that you're short-circuiting that behavior.


HTH,
Axel
