Can anyone localize this change in behavior to a specific release? Trying to narrow down the possibilities.
I initially thought this might be from my change at https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/commit/0a096e6d6c0f1709092c35af889daf842738b811 It still could be, but I find it interesting that I am *not* seeing the unusual behaviors that others are; for example my default action for applications is still "open" (even though I can see Calculate lower in the list). Others seem to have had "calculate" or "large type" become the default. I wonder if setting `kQSObjectDefaultAction` for file paths to "open" might help?
