Hi,

I’m trying to create a script, below, that I can add to a Keyboard Maestro shortcut. This script works with normal folders but “Trash” doesn’t seem to have a home.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

(* openTrashContainer - 9/26/15 - By R L Poland
*)

tell application "Finder"
activate
set TrashFolder to (path to Trash folder)
set windowList to name of Finder windows as text
# display dialog windowList
if windowList contains "Trash" then
close window "Trash"
else
open folder TrashFolder
end if
end tell

TIA,

(1) path to is not a Finder command but a Standard Additions one.

(2) It seems that you failed top look in Standard Additions dictionary.

There is no "path to trash folder" command, just a "path to trash" one.

Taking care of that, it's easy to build a script which behave flawlessly.

set TrashFolder to (path to trash)
tell application "Finder"
activate

set windowList to name of Finder windows as text
# display dialog windowList
if windowList contains "Trash" then
close window "Trash"
else
open folder TrashFolder
end if
end tell

I keep getting the error
"Result:
error "Finder got an error: Can’t make alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:rpoland:.Trash:\" into type folder." number -1700 from alias "Macintosh HD:Users:rpoland:.Trash:” to folder“
