Thanks for that, Rob. You gave me two good hints in one post. I'd call that economy of scale :-) open "somethingsomething.qscommand" Works just fine. No need for an "open -a" So, I created a droplet that basically opened /Users/petonic/bin/qslargetext.xt and displayed the contents of

Quicksilver File Attribute Tags ... Error: "OSStatus error -5000"

I'm falling in love with the new-to-me features that I haven't been using heavily on QS. Specifically, gathering files for task and using the tags facility (from the file attributes plugin) to tag them... However, when I try to use this, I get the error message below in notification center.

Is Xattr sort of dead?

I noticed that there's an Xattr QS Plugin at Quicksilver Xattr Plugin . It hasn't been touched in like 8 years, but I'm not sure if Xattr has evolved much since then, in any case. Has anyone tried to compile it or use it? I

Didn't returning strings from QuickSilver Applescript actions used to work?

QuickSilver Default Actions

When I invoke QS and enter "=3 * 12" in the first pane, the default action that shows in the second pane is a script that I wrote called "QS Decode URL" which is in my .../quicksilver/Actions folder. I'm wondering how that script got precedence over the default "Calculate" action. It's a bit
