Hi -- I read this thread and did an experiment. I had a core plugin in my library support folder and after quitting quicksilver, deleted it. When I turned in quicksilver again, it started fine but could not read any of my custom catalog entries, and also seemed to be lacking many default entries in the 'catalog' section of the preferences. My custom entries were there, but unclickable. I quit and restarted QS a couple of times, but there was no improvement. Finally, I restored the plugin and it is working fine, again. FYI, the version number on my core plugin, as seen in the Finder info window, is 0.5.2.
