If an Applescript file is selected in the first pane, QS reads it and
displays an appropriate action for it.
Specifically:
1) If the script starts with "on run" (or no specific "on ..."), the
Run action is available in the second pane.
2) If the script starts with "on open", the Open File... action is
available in the second pane.
3) If the script starts with "on process text" (inside a "using terms
from application "Quicksilver"" block), the Process Text.. action is
available in the second pane.
Generally speaking, if an Applescript could be used as an action in
QS, but instead is brought into the first pane, it will be treated
this way.
For the original poster, try just typing text into the first pane (in
text mode), and then bringing up your action in the second pane. Also,
make sure your script uses the proper code for processing text:
using terms from application "Quicksilver"
on process text inputText
--Do things with inputText
end process text
end using terms from
