Actually, to turn this into a real action, all you need is to use the
format
on open thefile
<script code that does stuff with the file goes here>
end open
in your Applescript, and then save it in ~/Library/Application Support/
Quicksilver/Actions. You may need to create this folder if it isn't
already there. Restart QS, and your spiffy new action will be ready
and waiting.
