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“ Robert Poland Fort Collins, CO
You didn't ran the code which I post because it doesn't try to coerce an alias into a folder. May you retry after copying the exact code which I posted ?
Below is a version usable worldwide. Yours assume that the trash is named Trash which is not true everywhere.
set trash_loc to my getLocalizedString("Finder", "AXICON6")
set TrashFolder to path to trash tell application "Finder" activate set windowList to name of Finder windows as text log windowList # display dialog windowList if windowList contains trash_loc then close window trash_loc else open folder TrashFolder end if end tell
on getLocalizedString(a, x) return localized string x in bundle path to application a end getLocalizedString
