Thanks Norm for the kind words, much appreciated! We're all volunteers, and work on Quicksilver because we love it and love helping people to use it :)
>From the further information you've given me, I can't think of anything else we can do other than resetting the preferences. Before you do this, can you just confirm the following: * Your Mac OS X version * Your version of Quicksilver. ß70 is the latest. Download it from http://qsapp.com/download.php * If there are any messages in Console.app when this problem happens You do not actually need to reset the preferences using Quicksilver, but can perform a 'temporary' reset following the steps at http://qsapp.com/wiki/FAQ#How_to_Backup_or_Reset_Quicksilver.27s_Settings On 11 October 2012 05:28, Norm Aleks <[email protected]> wrote: > Patrick, > > I've checked a little more, and the answer is "many but not all."
