Summary:
Upon using [NSFileManager trashItemAtURL:resultingItemURL:error:], the originating path is not stored in the .DS_Store file, causing the `Put Back` option not to be shown for programmatically trashed files.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Touch/create `foobar` file
2. Compile the attached code (trash-basic.m)
3. Run the resulting binary (no arguments required).

Expected Results:
`foobar` should show up in the Trash with the context menu option to `Put Back` to where it was originally located.

Actual Results:
`Put Back` is missing altogether from the context menu; file doesn't show up in .DS_Store listings.

Version:
OS X 10.11 El Capitan, but reported on various other versions as well (see Additional Notes of this report).

Notes:
This report was originally filed by Sindre Sorhus over at https://github.com/sindresorhus/osx-trash/issues/4. A few people have reported `Put Back` appears with a single file, but subsequent files do not. I have personally not seen a single file work at all.
