I see...I was wrong actually, and I presumed that QSB was an application that it wasn't. It's nowhere near the realm of what Quicksilver can do and what I need it to do. Quicksilver isn't perfect and has some glaring things wrong with it, but I just realized that it does most things extremely well and I really can't use my Mac without it.
That said, I'd be interested in working on the development of Quicksilver. Which issues need to be fixed, and at what priority? Which branch should I checkout on Xcode? Where should I commit my changes? Anything I should know before checking out the soruce? I'd like to speak with Etienne about this, as he seems to be one of the most prolific contributors. Good to see people haven't abandoned this piece of software completely! On Aug 14, 5:11 pm, Howard Melman <[email protected]> wrote: > Quicksilver never "fully" worked.
