Option to open files from the Trash When we double-click or ⌘O a file in the Trash, we’re greeted with a message that it cannot be opened.



But there it no technical reason for this, as evidenced by the fact we can circumvent this limitation in a number of ways (such as opening it via an app’s Open dialog, or the Terminal).

But I’d rather be able to open them with ⌘O or double-click. Note I’m not interested in solutions that require an external script or a new shortcut.

Is there an option to disable the default behaviour (that leads to the dialog)? Seems like a candidate for a defaults write solution.
If you just want to verify whether it is the correct file to delete (especially with generic file names like FullSizeRender.jpg): You can still engage QuickLook on files in the trash by tapping Space.
