I have a set of Applescripts for creating Entourage items form
Quicksilver: Tasks, Projects, and Events (on the calendar.) All three
are place in the ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions
folder, and all show up in QS under Preferenes->Actions as they
should. HOWEVER, only the first two are usable. The first two scripts
show up properly as a "text" action, so I can invoke QS, type a line
of text, and invoke the action to create an Entourage item with that
name. But the third script -- which is identical in every way except
that it creates a new calendar Event instead of a Task -- is
recognized as a "file and folder" action, and there is not accessible
if I invoke QS in text mode.

This is driving me insane. I've tried copying that "Task.scpt" file,
and "Copy of Task.scpt" works just fine as a text-based Action...
until I rename the file to something like "event.scpt", at which point
QS decides it's a file-and-folder action again.

Is there any way to manually force an action to behave as a certiain
type?
