The catalog now includes the text file itself (even though the "omit source item" box is checked), and if I look through the results from my typing, the text line is there, but only as a text line and not as the folder it points to. I formatted the line as an absolute path: /Applications/ [...] , and I escaped any spaces in the path, and tested it by pasting it into a terminal window and cd'ing to it. So I'm not sure why QS isn't incorporating the path into the catalog as a folder. Does the line of text need a "return" at the end, or anything like that? > You can also add one-offs by tagging > them<http://projects.skurfer.com/posts/2013/tagging_tips/#one-off-catalog-entries>if > that’s your thing.

I've installed OpenMeta, but the problem now is I can't get the desired folder as an object in Quicksilver. Before, I believe I could hit command-escape with the hidden folder selected in the finder, and the selection in Quicksilver was made correctly. Now, when I do that, the selection reverts to the application folder that my folder is hidden in. I'll try updating and see if that solves anything. Thank you for your help. And happy first anniversary of Quicksilver's official adulthood! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
