If Quicksilver is running you must have a ~/Library/Application
Support/Quicksilver/ folder. There is common confusion if you don't
know that ~/ stands for you home folder. Don't confuse it with the
system Library folder, note the difference between:
/users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/
/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/
Check for the first one.

Hello,
I've been using (and enjoying!) Quicksilver on a new Macbook Pro since
February, but I've spent a day on the following issue:
As far as I understand, it's possible to use custom scripts by
installing them in the correct folder and restarting. The following
pages seem to suggest that:

ruby

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2007020801072114
Also, in Howard Melman Quicksilver.pdf (http://groups.google.com/
group/
blacktree-quicksilver/files), on page 11:
"When first used, the following per user files and folders are
created:
• ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/
• Actions/ - not installed but create this folder to add scripts
that
implement actions"
I didn't have a "~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/" folder,
and added scripts to "~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/
Actions/" (which I created) are not recognized by Quicksilver. I can't
figure out how to create actions from script files.
I've tried it with a few scripts (chmod 755) that run appropriately in
Terminal.
Playing around with scripts in the catalog doesn't seem to work, and
all the related fixes I've found online have failed invariably.
"About Quıcĸsıɩⅴεʀ" reports "β54 (3815)" and I'm running OSX
10.5.6.
Does someone have an idea what might be causing this behavior and any
appropriate options I could tinker?
Thanks for any information,
-LG
