The only problem with ß60 for me now compared to ß54 is issue 210 (I think), whereby proxy objects doesn't work with multiple items. I had a couple of "Current Selection….Move To…." triggers that I used (and would still be using) several times a day on multiple files. Fortunately I've found workarounds for both these instances (one was moving items to Trash which I now workaround by using Spark which allows me to remap Apples's Cmd-backspace trigger to the trigger I want for it & the other was moving items to my dropbox folder which I workaround by using DropIn with which I can just drop the items I want moving (always on the desktop) onto it's icon in the Menubar & it transfers them there.
I do sometimes wonder how many extra applications I'd need if I didn't have Quicksilver. If loss of one tiny bit of functionality like this necessitated the downloading of two new items of software imagine how cluttered our Applications folders would be if we didn't have Quicksilver at all. Incidentally I was wondering if there was any way that users of Quicksilver could 'vote up' an issue if it's important to them. Obviously I've got no problem with you guys prioritising issues that are important to yourselves but there must come a time when you've dealt with all these and rather than just 'sticking a pin in' this would give you some guidance as to what's importance to us humble users who lack the requisite coding skillz. It may be interesting to see how important things like a dedicated Twitter client might be to users say. I know there are a couple of workarounds but they aren't slick as the old Twitter plugin that was broken when twitter went to OAuth & is obviously still broken under xAuth.
