It sounds like what you want is a way to change which folder the front
Finder window is showing you, instead of having a new Finder window open up
to show you that folder. The following script will do that consistently.
However, if you use the comma trick to select more than one item in
Quicksilver's first pane and then run this action, you will end up with a
Finder window (or tab, if you set Finder to use tabs in its preferences)
for each item. This action also works as a Reveal action if you select a
file instead of a folder.
Since it looks like you also want to force the Finder GUI into a specific
configuration while you are at it, you'll need to add those bits in for
yourself.
