I saved up several questions/issues and I'm putting them all in one batch 
post in case anyone can help me with them. Here goes:

When the computer reboots, Quicksilver is launched twice, and appears twice 
in the dock. It works fine after I quit one of the two instances. 

With quicksilver in the first pane and Open in the second pane, the 
interface does not go away after I hit enter. (The animation occurs, but 
the interface reappears afterwards. I can make it go away with the escape 
key, or command-comma for options etc. This doesn't happen with other 
actions for Quicksilver, like Get Info.)

If I click on a folder on the desktop to open a finder window, then select 
a file in that folder (in list view), then hit my hotkey for "select 
current selection in command window", the QS interface opens but the parent 
folder is in the first pane. Is this the correct behaviour? (I know I can 
navigate down to the file I need using the arrows, but I would have 
expected it to really give me the current selection in the first pane, 
however deep in the file hierarchy).

In the "Exclude types" field of the Source Options tab associated with an 
entry in the custom catalog items, most filetypes I add get converted to 
the long-form name of the filetype. For example, .otf becomes "TrueType 
OpenType font". Some filetypes don't seem to be recognised as they don't 
get their names changed: .pfm and .afm, for example, stay as they are after 
being entered. Of course it doesn't matter how they appear in the list, but 
these ones that aren't recognised don't actually get excluded as requested 
and end up clogging up the catalog.

Also in the catalog, I'd like to set the depth quite high in my (custom) 
desktop source, but I'd like to exclude some folders. So I temporarily set 
the depth to 1 to easily find the Desktop folders I want to exclude in the 
Contents tab. I deselect the ones I don't want. Then I return to Source 
Options and set the depth to 5. What I had hoped is that it would remember 
which folders I deselected at depth 1 and not go into them for the catalog. 
But it appears to forget any items had been deselected. 

Lastly a humble mention that if anyone with the requisite knowledge would 
like to make a Thunderbird plugin, I for one would make good use of it and 
be very grateful.

Thanks to anyone contributing to the development of Quicksilver. After 
almost a decade of using it just to find files and launch programs (which 
was already a great help) I'm finally making proper use of it. After 
selecting several photos in iPhoto, I sent them to the command pane, scaled 
them 50%, zipped them up, and emailed them to a recipient, all in 
Quicksilver without my hands leaving the keyboard. Doing the same with 
Thunderbird would complete my joy.
