Not really, no. If you select an executable in the first pane, then choose the “Run [...]” action, you can hit ↩ to run it immediately, but you can also tab to the third pane to enter some arguments. Those arguments can be paths, but you’ll have to type (or paste) them yourself. We could probably modify that action to accept text OR files, allowing you to select them with Quicksilver’s interface, but if you ever needed to mix and match (like provide both options and file names), you’d be back to typing everything. AppleScript is also an option, as has been mentioned, but there you’d be limited to “hard coding” either the executable or the target files in the script. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quicksilver group.
