'Put Back' multiple items in Trash?

as I said, you need to make sure that all selected items can be "put back" individually. not every trashed item can be "put back" even if you select a single one. for example, if you trash something by dragging it from a stack in the dock there is no "put back" option when you select it in trash. also, some applications (like Aperture) let you trash items directly from the application without using Finder. then there is no "put back" option either.

that link confirms exactly what I was saying. if one of the selected items is not "put backable" then the whole selection will lack the option to put back. but the Op says that individual items in the selection all can be put back. this is a different issue. it certainly shouldn't happen. it doesn't happen here. i can "put back" multiple selected items without any trouble. i can't explain what's happening to the OP.

Therein lies the rub. Not having access to his machine and being able to view the trash's contents makes solving the issue difficult. I posted the article's link because I thought it might be timely—didn't peruse it sufficiently to ascertain if there were nuances such as you mention.

Thus, we have a disconnect. V.K. and the linked article say if multiple put-awayable items are selected, they'll go back to their original places, whereas you're experience says otherwise. Some one smarter than I needs to figure this one out.

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Apple Developer Connection ( ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

used decloner to get rid of massive dupes, selected to keep the oldest files, now aperture is showing the dreaded YELLOW TRIANGLE icon.

All the files are in the trash, but there has been no way to move them. I do not have PUT BACK, nor have I heard of it til i needed to look for this answer to this problem.

I tried a few cases. It looks like multiple put backs work if they all go back to the same folder.
I took two files from two separate folders; they would put back individually but not together.

Hey guys,
I just found a very simple way of solving this lack in Finder.
Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think!
Here's the link (the first in the Applescript section): http://www.giacomoballi.com/scripts.html

easy hold CAPS on the first file CLICK and go to the last one, then click again yo will see all files will be selected then click get back

no, you can select any number of items at once and use "put back". just make sure that all selected items can be "put back".

oh yeah, V.K is right you Must make sure all elements on trash can "go back", cuz if you select all files and ONE cannot go back it will block any action

Someone's wrong here. According to http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10436040-263.html?tag=mncol;title it isn't the OP.
