You can view a contact's phone number in Quicksilver by right arrowing into the contact. My idea was that you would be able to perform the service you have created on that phone number object. Would you be able to send me your service file (the one in ~/Library/Services) so that I can take a look at how it works?)
Using Applescript would most likely be much easier, you can add applescript actions to Quicksilver by placing them in ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions On 14 May 2012 18:37, Devin Burke <[email protected]> wrote: > Mostly I'd be interested in working with ones taken from the Address Book. > Now that you mention it, it would also be useful to be able to select a > contact in pane 1 and have the script receive that and pull a phone number > from it.
