We have a few issues on the matter of the Finder selection, they're at: https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/485 https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/997
https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/510 The issue with Services not showing up for some folders (when Finder is in column mode) is a bug that's been around in OS X since Leopard I think. I suggest creating (another) issue at https://bugreport.apple.com One more won't hurt! The more we pester them, hopefully the more likely they'll be to fix the issues… although I'm not hopeful. It's interesting what you say about Finder caching things. I've not seen this. Quicksilver does 'cache' the proxy object for 3s (I think, could be 2s), so that's something to bear in mind. It avoids Quicksilver making infinite 'failed' attempts at trying to get a file/folder when there's nothing selected, and in other strange cases.
