Welcome to QS! I pretty much learnt all I know about Cocoa/Objective C through bug fixing for Quicksilver and writing plugins :)
As long as you've done everything in the list here: http://qsapp.com/wiki/Building_Quicksilver then it should work. The points at the bottom of that page are important, and may be your problem. Just make sure you're a) building correctly (See above) b) are in debug mode c) Checking the console (Run -> Console) for any information I think it may be something to do with what's described at the bottom of the above page On 14 April 2011 09:03, drew lipiecki <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm new to OSX and Objective C development.
