10.6: Use a Service to toggle trash can off and on
February 9th, 2010 admin

I created a Service to send a selected phone number to Google Voice to be dialed. To do this, I actually use two files: The service, which should be installed in your user’s Library/Services folder, and the google-voice-dialer php script , which does most of the heavy lifting; install that wherever.

Now, in 10.6, I can jump to a path using a...

This is actually slightly more complicated that it sounds at first, since the trash can is not just a folder somewhere. Each volume has its own trash, and your home folder has a trash can.
