Thank you - but could you give a suggestion as to how to hunt down any
references in the catalog to files not residing on my laptop? If I click on "Contents" in the side-drawer to the Catalog Preferences pane, I get an unsorted and seemingly unsortable or unsearchable list of scanned objects.

A lot of the problem files seemed to originate from file URLs, which isn’t typical. Quicksilver mostly stores files using the path. So, you could try this in Terminal:

    grep -rl 'file://' ~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver/Indexes

*Maybe* that will point you towards the problem(s).

One other question about settings for the catalog: in the custom area, I have "Home" with increased depth relative to the fixed catalog, and also "Desktop". But Desktop is actually under Home in the file hierarchy--so should I leave out Desktop altogether and increase the depth of searching in "Home" by 1, to get as deep in the Desktop hierarchy as I would like to?

From your question, I think you understand how it works. So, yes that would work, but no you probably shouldn’t. Increasing the depth for Home will make it go into everything, including `~/Library`, which you almost certainly don’t want in your catalog at all. You should use the default Home preset and create others with increased depth as needed.

You might also consider alternate ways to get things into the catalog (if there are only a couple of things deep down you care about), such as tagging them, or listing their paths in a text file.
