Quicksilver needs the folder ~/Library/Application Support/
Quicksilver/. It creates it when first run and stores most all it's
preferences there. It also stores some in ~/Library/Preferences/
com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist. Note the ~ that begins both of those
paths, that stands for your home folder. Be sure you're looking at the
Library in your home, not the system Library which has a link to it in
the left panel of the finder window.
If ~/Library/Application Support/ exists but there's no Quicksilver
folder in it after you run QS, then it's probably a permissions
problem on the folder which isn't allowing you to create stuff in it.
You can try creating the folder by hand or you could also run repair
permissions.
If those are correct, here's the FAQ item for Triggers don’t save:
There are usually 3 things that come up with triggers that don't save.
1. So-called dynamic triggers don't save. That is the something like
Mail (Get New Mail) won't save because the Get New action come from QS
inspecting Mail.app (it's not listed in the actions prefs). Or a
trigger using the Menu Bar Items... action with the third pane filled
in, won't save.
2. Triggers are saved in ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/
Triggers.plist if the permissions of that file or directory don't
allow you to write, then no trigger will be saved. There have also
been reports of this file becoming corrupted.
3. If you have triggers using actions from some plugin and then
uninstall that plugin, the triggers remain and QS can be confused.
Sometimes a particular trigger doesn't display, sometimes only one of
many triggers appears in the prefs. To fix, reinstall the needed
plugins, delete the related triggers, then remove the plugin.

Just recently, in the triggers menu they will not load, all that comes
up is a flash-like loading thing in the top-left and it just remains
there with nothing happening. I have had a read around and have seen
other people have had the problem but with no solution. It may be of
note though, that I do not have a quicksilver folder in Application
Support, and therefore no trigger folder.
I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling with no luck.
Would really value some help.
