My “open with” menu was problematic at one point but I don’t remember what (if anything) I did to fix it. Mine is fine under 10.6.2 with B54, and I was able to make a working trigger using “Current Selection ⇥ Open with…”, so it can be done. I don’t know if “open with” is any better or worse under B57, but it definitely has a few problems with proxy objects (which is why I haven’t upgraded). I would suggest quitting Quicksilver and deleting `~/Library/Caches/com.blacktree.Quicksilver` and/or `~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver` then restarting. Perhaps also manually rescan your Applications entry in the catalog.

It still happens from time to time, but rarely, and a restart usually makes it stop. > I can't look up a word by typing in "dictionary" -- i have to use "define > with dict.org,” Does this work in any version under Snow Leopard? I think the Dictionary app underwent some changes that may have broken the plug-in. I find ⌃⌘D to be convenient enough that I don’t go to Quicksilver for dictionary stuff. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>
