So, b) is pretty obvious, but not particularly lovely. I have my applications sorted in a bunch of folders, and it would take a bunch of thinking/typing/guessing that defeats the point of using Quicksilver. Might as well select in Finder and use [Application] -> Open File -> Current Finder Selection, which doesn't feel very lovely to me either.
a) sounds fine enough, but I can't get it to work. I've tried pasting your code into plists (either everything in XCode, or just the dict part in a text editor), relaunching, and rebooting. Nothing seems to have had any effect on making any new applications show up in the third pane for folders. Do I need to do something specific to make OSX recognize it? »Lucas Garron On Sun, Jan 29, 2012 at 23:55, Patrick Robertson < [email protected]> wrote: > You have two options: > > a) Edit the Info.plist of the application you want to open the folder > with.
