yah I tried it out. Works great. Better than the original. No point to upload mine but I will say at the very least people if they dont want to use yours for some reason they should at least change the original workflow and the IF THEN structure it uses-fixing that up takes likes a couple seconds makes the action work much better. Only thing I didnt totally like was your script automatically minimizes ALL windows upon first/1 tap. Sometimes i want that other times not so much. Mine only minimizes frontmost window on 1at tap and 1 window min everytime but if you want to toggle minimize all i have a separate trigger 1 finger tap but FN being held along with the tap to min all windows.
So instead of sharing another version of same thing basically I upload a action I use together with the action above but it hide/unhides the the app instead of toggling minimize. Way i have it setup is 1 Finger Tap on Dock Icon to toggle minimize application and 1 Finger Click on Dock icon to toogle hide action on application. Also the script does have a fallback function for apps unable hide and thus triggers them to minimize instead.
I included the preset to download aswell as an applescript you can use

Because your dockminimize script functions well-there is no reason for me to post mine so instead I will post another script I use in congunction with the minimizeapp script: click dock app to hide appliation. I use 1 finger tap on a dock icon to minimize the app and use 1 finger click on the dock icon to hide/unhide the application (if hiding is not possible with app it has a fallback function that will auto minimize it because some apps are unable to hide)
Enjoy to use just copy the json code and then paste in BTT when in the touchpad section
