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. --Lloyd -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
