Still trying a7 on Leopard. I have one mouse trigger that I use a lot,
Current Application Hide set to Mouse Entered the top-right-corner.
Doesn't seem to work. I see the visual clue that QS sees the mouse go
into the corner (the blue radial lines) but nothing is run and nothing
appears in the console.
Do people have other mouse triggers working? Any ideas of things to
try or another way to do this on Snow Loepard? I really like having a
simple mouse based way to hide an app that doesn't involving finding a
menu item.

Howard, if you rely on the Current Selection proxy you need to make
sure that you delete all other Instances of Quicksilver from your HDD
so that /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs (this is the new, now public,
pasteboard indexer) cannot index another Info.plist file from a
Quicksilver.app bundle.
If there are more than one Info.plist files registering the same "Get
Current Selection (Internal)" service menu action it will confuse the
new SL Services facility and getting the selection (and presumably the
Current Selection proxy object) will just not work (maybe for text in
TextEdit but thats it).
If you have deleted all other QS instances from your HDD then you will
need to go to the new Services configuration pane in the System
Preferences.app (under the keyboard stuff) and check both services
("Get Current Selection (Internal)" and "Send to Quicksilver") that
Quicksilver's Info.plist defines. These are disabled by default
because the Info.plist lacks certain keys needed for the new Services
facility. (tip: if you have problems with some services you expect
should be there but are not showing up run the following shell command
"/System/Library/CoreServices/pbs -dump_pboard > ~/
registered_pboards.plist" and inspect the "registered_pboards.plist"
in your home dir).
If you do that you should be able to get the current selection from
anywhere with Cmd+Esc and the current selection proxy should work.
Also note that (currently) the File Attributes plugin is unstable and
might cause crashes as well as the Services plugin.
Nathan, you should be able to browse your HDD just fine, including
depressing Alt to browse with hidden files visible. If you have any
plugins installed which do something to the file system in QS try
turning those off.

ichat, text manipulations have both failed to work for me. Also, I
have found that you cannot access the HDD structure for browsing in
56a7 like one could in previous versions. So you can't go to the
desktop or the documents folder from QS. Everythign else seemed OK.
For adding your plugins, you might want to see the discussion athttp://groups.google.com/group/blacktree-quicksilver/browse_thread/th

I'm finally ready to upgrade to Snow Leopard and the last thing I
need
to do is switch from Quicksilver B54 to B56a7. I've been reading all
the messages but I'd appreciate any advice to make the upgrade
smooth.
I have Time Machine backups but plan to backup the ~/Library/
Application Support/Quicksilver/ folder and just install the
B56a7.app
on top of the B54.app. Is this ok?
I have a lot of triggers defined. Most are are some application with
the Toggle Application action or web searches using Safari bookmarks
and some using the Current Selection proxy object. Do I need to do
anything to make sure these are recognized by a7?
I have the following plugins installed, are any of them a problem?:
