Rob - thanks for the input but i would appreciate if you could explain
what exactly provides the proxy object: the application (safari, mail,
etc) or QS? if it was the latter then i would have to check in QS
config to see if those were installed correctly.
I think the idea of proxy objects only exists in Quicksilver, so it's
"providing" them, but it obviously has to query the application
somehow to get information like "current web page" or "current playing
track". The reasons that Firefox doesn't work that well for this are
probably more to do with the developers not wanting to spend time on
something so platform specific and less to do with the fact that it's
a Carbon app. (I say that because iTunes is also Carbon and there are
all sorts of proxy objects for it.)
also how do you usually access these proxy objects from QS? (catalog,
etc)
First, make sure they're enabled in the "Quicksilver" section of the
Catalog preferences. Once that's done, you should be able to get to
them like anything else (type a few characters of the name). When
you're in the Catalog preferences, you can look at the contents to see
what's available. Note that some plugins for Quicksilver will add
proxy objects, like "OmniWeb Active Page" or "Artist Now Playing".

It's not that I think guns, drugs, prostitution, swimming, eating and
reading should be legal. It's just that no one on Earth has the
authority to make them illegal.
