Openning a New Finder Window using triggers stopped working

[Yonathan Galler]

Hi ,

Until today I've been using El Capitan. I used to have a QS Trigger with a keyboard shortcut that would open a new Finder window.

This was probably my most used computer action of all.

Today I've upgraded from El Capitan to Mojave and this shortcut stopped working. Instead when I use it I get an error message saying:

"Item “Finder.app” is used by macOS and can’t be opened."

* I have check marked QS under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility 

Any ideas what it means and how I could solve this so I could get my beloved shortcut back?

See this FAQ entry.

I think the AppleEvents permissions might be separate from the
Accessibility permissions.

MY Privacy settings relating to QS (at least the ones I could find) were all check marked.

See the attached photos.

Is there a setting I missed somewhere?

I don’t know. The first time you ran it, the system probably asked for
permission. These questions are easy to miss, and will automatically
answer “no” after a few seconds and never ask again.

You’ll probably also want to add Quicksilver to “Full Disk
Access”, but I don’t know if that will help here or not.
