i think i finally figured out what was going on when i could get a
script to sometimes come up in the object pane followed by 'run' in
the second pane and when it had to be run as an 'action' on an already
selected object. here's my theory:

1 - scripts in the 'user scripts' or any other 'scripts' folder that
is indexed by quicksilver can be run directly without any prior text
or object selection.
2 - scripts that are in '/Users/yourusernam/Library/Application
Support/Quicksilver/actions' can only be run as actions meaning they
need an 'object' to run on and will therefore never show up in the
first pane.

assuming my explanation is accurate, this means that one would either
have to copy a script they wanted to run standalone to the 'user
scripts' folder from the 'actions' folder or move it and eliminate its
use as an 'action'.

would any of the more experienced QS users chime in here on the QS
algorithms as relate to this and and their experiences?
