Quicksilver doesn't find all my iTunes music

2010-05-29 Thread Evan Kelso
Hey guys, I just installed quicksilver and it's awesome. Unfortunately, it doesn't find all the iTunes music that I have on the computer. Some of it is itunes music, other tracks are downloaded...questionably (legally speaking). I've looked into changing the depth that quicksilver goes into when

What you'll want to do is set up a new catalog entry in the Quicksilver prefs for the certain 'downloads' folder. The iTunes plugin only find things stored in the iTunes library, to have quicksilver search other places you just need to set up new source entries. I wouldn't suggest increasing the

Concatenate commands in one trigger?

2010-05-29 Thread jrh
Hi all, Sorry if this is just too easy but I have been trying to do it with no luck... I am trying to concatenate several commands in one trigger. What I want to do is get the selected text of the current window and send it a shell script as input. Then paste the output of the script into the

Instead of returning the results of the script to Quicksilver, have the script paste the results. Adding this to the end of your script should do the job (replacing $foo with whatever is appropriate in your script, of course): printf $foo | pbcopy osascript -e tell application \System Events\ to

Bleh, stupid automatic formatting. Make sure to remove the line break after \v\ in the command I posted above On May 29, 11:56 am, Jon Stovell (a.k.a. Sesquipedalian) jonstov...@gmail.com wrote: Instead of returning the results of the script to Quicksilver, have the script paste the results.

Well, Thank you Jon! that of course did the trick. Many thanks!! The only problem I see is that I miss the contents of the clipboard every time the script is run but I can live with it. :-) Regards, On May 29, 6:02 pm, Jon Stovell (a.k.a. Sesquipedalian) jonstov...@gmail.com wrote: Bleh,

Ah. Well, since your script's output is just plain text anyway, you could also use this method instead: osascript -e tell application \System Events\ to keystroke $foo That will cause the script to simulate typing the text for you, rather than copying it to the clipboard and then pasting by

Also, the first line of the first version should be changed to printf $foo | pbcopy If the quotation marks are not placed around $foo, printf will only send the first word contained in $foo to the clipboard. On May 29, 2:16 pm, Jon Stovell (a.k.a. Sesquipedalian) jonstov...@gmail.com wrote:

Bleh, and for the second method, you should use \$foo\ instead of just $foo. On May 29, 2:24 pm, Jon Stovell (a.k.a. Sesquipedalian) jonstov...@gmail.com wrote: Also, the first line of the first version should be changed to printf $foo | pbcopy If the quotation marks are not placed around

Re: Quicksilver and Nocturne???

2010-05-29 Thread sudo
I can always select Nocturne, then Open. Nocturne, then Quit, appears to run randomly, much like now it works, now it doesn't. Can anyone shed some light on this erratic behaviour? Why should an app not always make available an action that should? On May 24, 10:51 pm, Bananalou apma...@gmail.com
