Hi Jon, Thanks for your kind words, we always like to see old QS users returning back to the software!
What you've suggested is a good idea which we could easily implement, but do you think that it is necessary to create a new item to show all the menu bar apps. Here's some ideas: Type the application name in the 1st pane ⇥ show menu items or if it a specific application you think you'll be doing it a lot for (e.g. Safari) create a trigger for Safari ⇥ Show Menu Items Creating new items for easy access wouldn't be that much quicker. The two options would be: * Add all the menu items of currently running applications to the Quicksilver catalog (has the disadvantage of only being refreshed at a set time interval, but this could be changed) * Have a 'Proxy object' called 'All Menu Bar Items' or similar, but this would require you to → into the proxy object to obtain the list (could be slow, as you mention) then search for your specific menu item. Certainly a good idea, and not something we'll dismiss just yet!
