try this instead:

on alfred_script(q)
	tell application "Finder" to activate
	tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Finder"
		click menu item "Hide Others" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Finder" of menu bar 1
		click menu item "Minimize All" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Window" of menu bar 1
	end tell
end alfred_script

	end tell
end alfred_script

 

 

Thanks linuslundahl, but that doesn't work either:

 

here is event track from applescript editor:

tell application "Finder"
	activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
	click menu item "Hide Others" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Finder" of menu bar 1 of application process "Finder"
		--> error number -1728 from menu item "Hide Others" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Finder" of menu bar 1 of application process "Finder"

Works for me on Mavericks for everything but Finder windows..

Not working anymore for me. 

 

When not in Finder, after hitting my keyboard shortcut, a Finder window appears but "Hide" and "Hide others" are grayed out. 

When in Finder, after hitting my keyboard shortcut, "Hide" and "Hide others" become grayed out.
