Re: Show Contents unavailable

[James McLean]

Removing the caches fixed the problem!  Maybe I should have saved them for 
further analysis, but at this point I'm happy to just move on.
Thanks much!

Re: Show Contents unavailable

['Nathan Henrie' via Quicksilver]

Very weird.


There are caches at `~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver` and 
`~/Library/Caches/com.blacktree.Quicksilver` that I blow away frequently when 
testing; you might try quitting, `rm -rf` on those, and relaunching.

AFAIK "keys.txt" isn't some kind of special string.

 Sorry if you mentioned this, but I only have the most recent message in 
 this thread. Did this start with a particular version of Quicksilver or 
 just out of the blue?
 
 Maybe try copying the file to another folder and see if the same thing 
 happens?

Starting within the correct directory, which also contains a duplicate

I guess I've added a few bytes since making the copy, but essentially 
the same.  QuickSilver can Show Contents on keys_alt.txt just fine, but 
fails if I mv back.


It certainly would have been quite insane if the file name were some 
secret auto-destruct trigger.  Is there some cache that I need to nuke?

Sorry if you mentioned this, but I only have the most recent
message in this thread. Did this start with a particular version
of Quicksilver or just out of the blue?

Maybe try copying the file to another folder and see if the same
thing happens?

Can you open a terminal and run `stat ~/Desktop/keys.txt` and reply with the 
output?

FWIW, I created a file named `keys.txt` and I can arrow in / `show contents` 
just fine.

Re: Show Contents unavailable

This happened out of the blue, as far as I can recall.  By moving stuff 
around (copying, pasting, renaming), I've discovered that the problem 
exists only for one specific filename, "keys.txt".  If I "mv keys.txt 
keys2.txt", then I can right-arrow into the renamed file.  If I then "mv 
keys2.txt keys.txt" back to the original name, then I once again cannot 
show the file contents.

Re: Show Contents unavailable

['Nathan Henrie' via Quicksilver]

Sorry for delayed response. Starting an issue at GitHub will be the best way to 
keep track of this: https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues

Show contents is still working properly for me on 2.4.1.

Select `file.txt` -> either right arrow or “show contents” -> contents returned 
to pane 1.

Anybody else having trouble with this?

Show Contents unavailable

[Quicksilver]

Show Contents is in my action list (rank 34), in the "Any Type" list, and 
active (checked off).  And yet when I select a text file as the object, 
Show Contents is not an available action.  I also cannot right-arrow into 
the text file.  That worked until fairly recently.

For folder objects, I can still get the Show Contents action and 
right-arrow into them.  So maybe the problem is specific to *.txt files?
