I'm not sure there is one. Some things in Quicksilver were experiments and not all that proved unfruitful were removed. Or it could just be a bug.

I believe the Recent items under User make use of the Recent Documents and Recent Applications list that the OS keeps track of and shows in the apple menu. I suspect the catalog functions treat them differently to avoid duplicates.

thanks Howard.
but if thats the solution then what is the use of "recent objects"?
In other words, what is a better way to take advantage of "recent objects" without allowing it to clutter the results pane.

on checking your user guide, i found this on page 62

"There are other sources for applications in the other catalog sets. Under User, Dock is a Dock Applications source, under User, Recent Items is a source for Recent Applications. Even if an application is found by multiple sources (e.g., where it’s installed, the Dock and recently used), it only has one entry in the Catalog. As a result, selecting any kind of application is easy. The default action is Open so basic launching functions are covered. "

In the Catalog under Quicksilver, uncheck Recent Objects.

results get repeated exactly twice thus narrowing down the number of results that i would have otherwise seen.
why does this happen?
