Since 10.7 selecting files from the Finder in QS has been unreliable due to a well-known bug <http://www.openradar.me/9406282>. Its implications for QS have been thoroughly described in this wrap-up<http://qsapp.com/wiki/Finder_Selection> .
With issue #1477 <https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/1477>now closed (thanks for that, btw) I tried the following workaround as suggested in rdar://9406282 <http://www.openradar.me/9406282>. 1. Install the Command Line Tool plugin. Enable it in Plugins tab and next in Preferences tab. 2. Set the scope of the built-in trigger 'Command Window with Selection' to Disable in Finder and Quicksilver, leave the default hotkey ⌘⎋. 3. Create a new trigger with the applescript below (I named it the same as in 2.) and enable it only for Finder, set hotkey to ⌘⎋. -- http://www.openradar.me/9406282 /10362028 /10561771 *activate* *application* "SystemUIServer" *activate* *application* "Finder" *tell* *application* "Finder" *set* SelectedFiles *to* {} *repeat* *with* SelectedFile *in* (selection *as* *alias list*) *set* *end* *of* SelectedFiles *to* (quoted form *of* POSIX path *of* SelectedFile & space) *end* *repeat* *end* *tell* *if* SelectedFiles *is* *not* {} *then* *do shell script* "qs " & SelectedFiles *else* *do shell script* "qs ~/Desktop" *end* *if* This switches from Finder back and forth to a faceless application, makes selection into POSIX paths for qs tool to send to QS's first pane. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
