I haven't seen this script yet, but is it really necessary to open a
Finder window to do Quick Look? A simple terminal command, qlmanage -p
<file>, will display a Quick Look window for that file. The downside
is that there is not a way that I can tell to make it automatically
dismiss.

The window is under the control of the qlmanage command so that will
stay running until you close the window, possibly hanging Quicksilver
in the mean time, but running it in the background should fix that. If
you wanted to get really fancy, I'm sure you could inject some code
into the qlmanage process (using F-Script or something similar) that
would cause the window to get focus and quit when it loses it. :)

Hope this helps.
