First off, thanks a huge bunch Etienne, your builds are significantly better than the original when running Leopard IMO, and I really appreciate your effort. I'm very happy to hear fighting talk on keeping QS alive for a while longer. Though QSB is promising, it is severely limited in functionality terms compared to QS, and I seem to see that many of the power features will never make it to QSB. The fact it doesn't even handle a third pane input means its UI will never be as elegant as QS. I don't think you should be trying to get V2 working. That is a significant undertaking, unless you feel confident you can get a working system with the resources you are able to afford. I'd love to see Elements, Crucible and others working on an optimised new core, but it doesn't seem like the most practical path. Fixing V1 some more to make it robust under Leopard bit by bit seems like a better option to me. You give the community a great present to have a tool we already all use daily and make it better. Would be great if you could add some of the V2 bits into V1 over time. But the problem with QS is not that it needs new features, the problem many people have with QS is that it is unstable for some, which you can have a greater impact on fixing. I'd love to see some more Cocoa programmers willing to help you out, and as we've seaid many times before, I think we could get a paypal money pot set up to pay developer bounties on bugfixes and feature additions...
