Issues: 1. Submit a bug / feature request here: https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues I like this idea and can see it being useful so it's worth adding it.
2. I saw your tweets with @LoveQuicksilver. Is this a bug that's not working in Quicksilver, or just something Quicksilver doesn't do (gasps!) 3. This is fixed in the latest version, due to be released soon :) 4. I don't use SocialBookmarks so am unable to use that example. But I do like the idea of having a checkbox next to the 'omit source item' saying 'only source item' 5. The main way to increase speed is to decrease the number of objects in your catalog and disable plugins you don't use. Having said that, speed should be increased in the next version a little. It's true that displaying the available actions check can slow things down, but a delay would most certainly make things too slow for a lot of users. You can speed things up by changing the 'show other matches' option in the QS Prefs under 'Command' 6. I think that's due to there being no Thunderbird plugin, but I'm not sure on this one. 7. Submit a bug at the link above :) * For any of these, you could submit bug/feature requests. Suggestions: 1. Maybe we should have that as an option, but it'd just add another variable to QS - whilst we're trying to keep it simple. It seems like a decent idea though. 2. Are you reading our minds? This was just mentioned in the Developers discussion, so I think there may be some interest in this idea. 3. You could use the spotlight plugin and then search for "kind:pdf" -> spotlight. But it's a nice idea. Something we probably won't implement straight away though, unless a developer picks this up (do you have any friends who are devs? Twist their arm!) 4. There is no 4! 5. Difficult to do, but would be nice. I think bringing up QS and hitting CMD+R is fine for me at the moment. It may also make QS quite a lot more resource intensive. Does LB use spotlight's index? In which case, it doesn't have to do any work. Really good suggestions, and I would recommend you place them as bugs on Github, or start individual topics here for the most important ones in your eyes so they can be discussed and potentially developed.
