OMG! I didn't know of this cool functionality. Now instead of
setting reminders I can just use this but unfortunately I can't get
Control+Enter to work.
On the group I read someone else was having issue with this version.
Is it working for someone with this combination?
MAC 10.5.8, QS B58 (3841)

Enter the text of your reminder in the first pane, and select Large
Type in the second pane. Then press Ctrl-Return, and set up your Run
after Delay... action. Voilà.

Wow Jon - superb response. Thank you very much. But while useful for
applications, I particularly meant more as a reminder... i.e. "put
laundry in dryer after 50 minutes" -- so this is really what I was
wanting to use it for. But if there is no way around the ctrl+enter,
then I guess there's just no way around it. Looking forward to your
response again, Jon. Thanks for your help everybody - great community
here !

I think this is simply a matter of misunderstanding what the Run
after
Delay… action is for.
Sagar Shah, I think that you are trying to do something like having
Safari open after a certain delay, and so you have been trying to
create a command like
Safari, Run after Delay…, 60
As you have discovered, that does not work. Instead, you first
need to
enter the command "Safari, Open" and then press Ctrl-Return.
Pressing
Ctrl-Return causes the entire existing QS command ("Safari, Open")
to
become the object of a new command. In the second pane of this new
command you can select Run after Delay… as its action and then
enter a
time in the third pane. Then you will end up with a command like
this
"Safari, Open", Run after Delay…, 60"
What this command means is "Wait 60 seconds and then carry out the
instructions currently listed in the first pane." So the Open action
is still what actually launches Safari, whereas the Run after Delay…
action is what runs the entire "Safari, Open" set of instructions
(after the delay has expired).
In other words, the Run after Delay… action does not take
applications
or files as its objects; it takes other complete Quicksilver
commands
as its objects. It is the job of those other commands to perform
actions on applications or files.

hey again --
thanks Patrick. If you can whenever you get a chance it'd be great,
but if someone else can chime in and help out - I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

I've just had a look and I can't seem to get it to work either :(
Maybe someone who uses this will know more. Sorry.
It may be a code problem which I could look into, but I'm too
busy at the
moment

Hey Patrick - thanks again for your response.
It is checked, and still I'm having to hit ctrl + enter. I'm
not sure
why that's happening.

It should be checked!
Checking it will make it work :)

thanks for your response...
Unfortunately, yes -- it's checked off in the action section.
Any
other ideas... anybody ? Just new to QS so I can forget how
to do it
each time... much easier if it shows up with the normal
commands.
i'd appreciate any help -- thanks very much.

If you go into the Quicksilver preferences (CMD + , whilst
QS window
is
open), then go to the action tab, is the 'run after delay'
action
ticked?
It should be for the action to show up. What you're using is
what's
called
the 'alternative action' e.g. if you hold CMD whilst using
the 'open'
action, it opens the file in Finder as opposed to the file /
app
itself

Hi --
I'm having to hit ctrl+ enter to get this option available.
Is
there a
reason I can't just simply type in "run " or "delay" and
have it
show
up natively as an option?
I looked at the manual as well but it only has information
on the
feature and says to type in run after delay, I'm not able
to do
that.
Any help would be great -- thanks.
