The 'on get argument count' feature does allow for files to be selected in
pane 3. On my setup (ß68 10.7), QS defaults to file input in pane 3. Text
input is possible after pressing period.
Here's a template that works for me:
<code>*using terms from* *application* "Quicksilver"
*on* *process text* _text with iObject
*try*
*if* *class* *of* iObject = *text* *then* *set* iObject *to* {iObject}
*set* _aliasList *to* {}
*repeat* *with* _filepath *in* iObject
*set* _aliasList *to* _aliasList & ((*POSIX file* _filepath) *as* *alias*)
*end* *repeat*
*on* *error* a number b
*set* selection *to* a
*end* *try*
*end* *process text*
*on* *get argument count*
*return* 2
*end* *get argument count*
*end* *using terms from*</code>
For one file, iObject returns a file path text object, e,g.,
"/Users/phil/Desktop". For multiple files, it returns a list, e.g.,
{"/Users/phil/Desktop", "/Users/phil/Downloads"}
The template takes account of this discrepancy and turns the file path list
into an alias list that AppleScript finds easier to use.
Here's an example action I wrote recently:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/157506/New%20Folder%20with%20Selection.zip
Put it in ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/ and relaunch
QS.
Enter a new folder name in pane 1, select files in pane 3, and the files
will be duplicated to the new folder in your home folder.
