If you dig around in Entourage's preferences, there is an option to
sync your Entourage contacts with Apple's Address Book. Enable that,
and you can use the Address Book plugin to access your contacts in QS.
If someone can give me explicit instructions on how to do this, I'll
add it to the manual.
A screenshot of the option would be great.
Also, does the 2004 plugin not work with 2008 by default?
This is what the Contacts section of the manual currently says for
Entourage:
Entourage
The Entourage 2004 Module Plug-in provides similar but more limited
support for contacts stored in Entourage. Install the plug-in and
start Entourage and bring up the preferences. Under General
Preferences, Security make sure "Warn before allowing an external
application to access the address book" is unchecked. Now open the
Quicksilver Catalog and under Modules make sure Entourage Contacts
is checked and selected and click the [curly arrow] (Rescan Source)
button at the bottom. The Entourage contacts should now be in the
catalog, though in B51 it does seem to be a bit buggy. If the contacts
don’t appear, rescan the catalog.
Activate Quicksilver and start typing the name of a contact, it should
appear in the first pane. There is a Show Contact action that will
bring it up in Entourage. At least in B51 typing → will not show the
details of the contact. Other actions that do Email and IM should work
as well. Note that the email actions use the default Mail application
and this is set in the General tab of the Mail.app preferences (also
set the Email Handler in the Quicksilver Handler preferences).
Thanks.
