-[NSWorkspace absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:] and the Trash

Subject: -[NSWorkspace absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:] and the Trash
From: Jeff Johnson <email@hidden>

Could someone please clarify the behavior of -[NSWorkspace absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:] when an application is in the Trash?

In almost all of my testing, the method returns nil when an app is in the Trash. However, one time in the debugger (on Mac OS X 10.5.8) I caught it returning an app's path in "/Users/jeff/.Trash". Strangely, I've never been able to reproduce that result a second time.

I would appreciate any clarification on how the method handles the Trash. There doesn't seem to be any documentation about that. Given my one-time result, we may have to consider the behavior undefined. But maybe that one instance was just a bug. Clearly the behavior is not entirely random.
