If you can locate an old copy of your 
`~/Library/Preferences/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist` and restore it, 
that should skip the setup screen.


If not, just creating an empty file at that location _might_ work, and 
then you can go into the preferences and manually set things up.


Another option is to get a copy of that file from someone else and then 
adjust to your liking in the preferences UI.

2.4.0, 2.3.0, 2.0.2, and 2.0.0 and each gives me the same result.

Any ideas how I can resolve this?


Not sure if this is the positioning bug on Sonoma or not, but in any

In Terminal before launching Quicksilver and see if that helps.

Sorry if you mentioned this, but I only have the most recent message in this

There could be several things you need to allow (files, contacts, calendar 
events) depending on which plug-ins you use. Which one won’t stick?

The first thing I would check is that you’re using an official build from 
qsapp.com since those will be signed and notarized.

That was never an option in Quicksilver. I attempted adding it a few years ago, 
but it just didn’t make sense since so many of the items on the catalog 
(bookmarks, web searches, contacts, audio devices, tags, preference panes) 
don’t have a date associated with them.

That’s almost certainly what did it. The people who aren’t seeing this probably 
already had Calculate lower than open. Prior to the change, Calculate wouldn’t 
even be an option for files. But once it became an available action, if it was 
ranked higher than Open, it would suddenly be the default.

There’s nothing we can do for existing installs other than tell people to 
review their actions and order them according to their preferences, but for new 
installs, we just need to make sure Open has a higher default rank than 
Calculate, Large Type, etc.

As a general rule, whether it’s us devs assigning default ranks or users 
arranging their actions, the ones that apply to one type should be highest. For 
instance, it’s safe to put SSH at the top of the list because it never shows 
for anything other than Remote Hosts.

Yeah, you can do this for any site (except you should never need to type out 
the full word once Quicksilver learns your habits). What you call a keyword 
will just be a web search in your Quicksilver catalog. So once you have an 
Amazon search added, you just search for it (typing “az” should be enough) then 
go to the 3rd pane to enter your search term. Again, with Smart spacebar 
behavior this would mean typing something like “az␣1984”.

The web search plug-in comes with two lists (Simple and Full) that come with 
Google, Amazon, and lots of other common ones pre-configured. (Look under 
Plugins in the Catalog preferences.)

I find these too noisy and don’t like the way some of them are named, so I just 
uncheck those and create my own. (In the catalog prefs, hit the + button at the 
bottom and choose “Web Search List”.)

Assuming you have the Web Search plug-in installed, it should be pretty 
simple.


  1. Call up Quicksilver
  2. Type enough to find the Google search item. (For most people just 
‘G’ is enough. If not, the more you use that item, the less you’ll 
have to type to find it over time.)
  3. Hit ⇥ twice to get to the 3rd pane, or if you’re using the 
default “smart” spacebar behavior, just hitting spacebar should take 
you there

  4. Type “hammer” and hit ↩

So all together, it should just be “g␣hammer↩”.

There’s [more detailed information in the 
manual](https://qsapp.com/manual/Web/#web-searches), but it was written 
before Smart spacebar was introduced.

It probably got recompiled during the mass recompiling for Apple

FYI, it looks like the Dictionary app supports a `dict:` URL scheme, so 
you could add a custom web search to Quicksilver for `dict://***` and 
then use the **Find With…** or **Search For…** actions. Once that 
search is defined (assuming you name it “Dictionary”), you can also 
create a trigger for “Current Selection ⇥ Find With… ⇥ 
Dictionary”. (Although I’d argue just using the built-in ⌃⌘D is 
easier.)

Forgive me if this is too obvious, but do you have “Show other results” set to

I know that a big part of the power of Quicksilver is that while

is WAAAY too much hassle to look through the results.

Is there a way to tell Quicksilver that for the current search, the 
letters

typed should be consecutive?  (I don't want to do this for every

It’s possible to write different plug-ins to customize the way strings 
are matched, but that’s pretty heavy handed  and unlikely to happen. 
Personally, I prefer the TextStart Ranker plug-in which places more 
weight on letters at the beginning of words and capital letters. It 
might be worth a look. (If you install it, be sure to enable it under 
Preferences → Handlers.)


Either way though, Quicksilver learns what you’re after very fast. 
What I do in a situation where my search has too many results is just 
type more characters to narrow it down (even if it’s more than I would 
normally be willing to type), then run whatever action on the thing I 
was looking for.


Simply “using” the located item in this way once or twice causes it 
to be ranked higher in the results in the future. So there’s a good 
chance that the next time you type whatever small number of characters 
come natural to you, that item will be higher if not the top result.


If you would like to short-circuit this learning process, there’s also 
the **Assign Abbreviation…** action.


  1. Search for and select the desired item
  2. ⇥ to the second pane and select **Assign Abbreviation…**
  3. ⇥ to the third and and type what you want to use to find that

Quicksilver won’t index _all_ of your files (and I wouldn’t 
recommend that you try). You can look at Preferences → Catalog to see 
what it’s currently including. Most of the File & Folder entries have 
a limit to how deep they scan. You can adjust this by making a copy and 
disabling the built-in preset. You can also add custom entries if there 
are important folders missing, but I would be selective. 20 years ago 
there were performance issues with adding too many files. That’s not 
really a problem these days, but you probably want to avoid “noise”

Also note that you can access any file even if it’s not directly 
searchable in the catalog. With any folder selected, you can hit → or 
/ to see its contents. You can then search those results and repeat 
until you get to where you want. You can also quickly jump to the root 
of your drive by just holding / for a half second or jump to your home 
directory by hitting ` or ~.

  1. That’s how I’m going to access them anyway
  2. It doesn’t matter which browser I use or if I switch browsers, 
etc. (I’ve actually been using Browser Fairy, which I highly 
recommend.)


FYI, for bookmarks I just have an HTML file that I update by hand. 
It’s just a list of links like this:


https://developer.apple.com/;>Apple Developer Program
http://awesome-python.com/;>Awesome Python

Then just add a custom File & Folder Scanner catalog entry with these

Sure!

  1. Install the Spotlight plug-in (might need a relaunch after this)
  2. In the Catalog prefs, click the **Add Source…** button at the

  3. Choose “Spotlight”
  4. Put `kMDItemContentTypeTree == 'com.apple.application'` as the

Looks like they moved Safari again. I didn’t even notice because I

I wonder if that should be the default now (or if Apple has an API that

To do it in one step, I’d just create an AppleScript that types the

As a temporary work-around, the `.qscommand` files are just plain text

That action only appears for files, but since that proxy object

The Spotlight plug-in is really only able to search files and doesn’t support 
all the things you can type in the regular Spotlight interface.

I would expect this to work for Notes like it does for Mail messages and 
Contacts, but I can’t test it. Even the regular Spotlight interface isn’t 
giving me anything at the moment, and searching via QS just crashes it. 

Yeah, I noticed that the text is invisible for some reason, but if you type 
“folder” followed by a comma, it should get set correctly.

That allows you to add a new type of entry (Spotlight). It doesn’t affect “File 
& Folder Scanner” entries at all. You could use a Spotlight entry to find 
folders, but it’s probably overkill.

> Here’s a trigger setting for my box sync folder (where all my most frequent 
> folder / file searches will be):

You want the trigger to use the catalog entry itself, not the folder the 
catalog entry refers to. Assuming the name of the entry is “Box Sync”, look for 
“Box Sync (Catalog)”.

You might not see these by default. Go to Preferences → Catalog → Quicksilver 
and make sure “Quicksilver Catalog Entries” is enabled.

I would have gone into more detail in my original answer, but I didn’t think 
you’d actually want to do this. 

It’s not something you can toggle in the interface. The closest thing

  1. Create a custom catalog entry that only shows folders
  2. Create trigger with that entry in the first pane and “Search

I don’t know of anything like that. There’s “Sort by Score” and “Sort by Name”

What’s the use case? QS learns pretty quickly. I don’t even have the results

There’s no automatic sync and never has been because it probably 
wouldn’t work in a lot of cases. (You might have something indexed on 
one machine that doesn’t even exist on the others, for example.)


However, you should be able to move things from one machine to another 
by just copying


  * `~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver`
  * `~/Library/Preferences/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist`

If you want to try to sync those somehow by creating symlinks or 
something, feel free, but that’s not officially supported.

OK, it looks like we never released the updates to the mail related plug-ins. 
We’ll try to do that soon.

Mail Support and E-mail Support are the same thing. Make sure you have the 
latest version of that plug-in (2.1.0) and make sure it’s enabled. (The box 
next to it should be checked in the Plugins preferences.) If you just installed 
it, you might need to restart Quicksilver.

The things I have on the Shelf have been there for years, so it definitely 
should keep them.

Are you sure you’re thinking of the Shelf and not the clipboard history? 
There’s a setting in Preferences → General → Clipboard for “Keep history when 
restarting” that controls this behavior.

There are actions from that plug-in that will allow you to do one-off 
Spotlight searches (the results are not added to the catalog), but 
honestly the regular Spotlight interface is probably better for that.


The main value of the plug-in is that it allows you to create custom 
catalog entries based on a Spotlight query (instead of a specific folder 
location). Installing the plug-in doesn’t do anything to your catalog 
or results unless you create one of these entries. For example, I’ve 
always disabled the built-in Applications preset and created one using 
the Spotlight source that searches for `kMDItemContentTypeTree == 
'com.apple.application'`.

According to [the docs][1], there doesn’t seem to be a way to specify

For what it’s worth, if you don’t have the Contacts app already

There isn’t really a good way to do this. You can copy sections of the property 
list back and forth between Xcode and a text editor, but that’s not ideal.

A more granular way to store catalog entries would be a nice idea, as well as 
import/export options.

At the same time, QS 2.0.3 (4031) now frequently quits for no obvious

I don’t use the built-in list with the Web Search plugin because there are too 
many things in there and I don’t like the way some of the titles are formatted. 
But I just enabled and rescanned those presets (individually) and the lists

Yes. This is documented in the manual (but not in much detail).

https://qsapp.com/manual/plugins/websearch/

In your case, I think you would just need to create a new web search 
list and add an item with Vudu as the title and



https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/search?minVisible=0=%252F=***

as the URL.

Once that’s there, you should be able to search for Vudu in 
Quicksilver and the **Search For…** action should be the default.

Like I said, try the different interfaces, but I don’t know of one that hides

files have the same icons.)

You might be able to achieve this by setting the text and background to the

Not sure about that one. There can be a delay when the first Intel app is

No, that has nothing to do with plug-ins. Like I said, that list is

I really think you want “Open URL” and not “Open URL With…”, 
but I don’t know what the URL looks like. If it’s 
`music://something` or `itunes://something`, it should correctly open in

You do not need to tell Quicksilver which application to open a URL

application automatically.



In my actions under url, I have 4 choices, Open URL, Open URL in

That’s weird. The “Open With…” action is provided by the Core

“Open URL With…” allows you to choose an application in the third

That sounds like the “Open With…” action which takes an application in the 3rd 
pane.

The “Open URL” action just tells macOS to open the URL, not your browser. So 
for example, if you open the URL dict://example the system will open the 
Dictionary app.

The “Open URL” action should work with pretty much any URL (not just HTTP), but 
it might not appear by default.

You can try selecting it in the second pane, but if it really won’t appear, 
select a real URL in the main QS interface then right-click to copy the “Open 
URL” action, then paste it into the second pane in the Trigger prefs and save 
it.

Selecting an item and hitting Delete (on the keyboard) should remove an item.

To add, you can drag something from Finder, Quicksilver, etc. or use the “Put

The User Interface Plugin might let you do that, though I’m not sure if it give 
access to the Apple menu.

I think the Extra Scripts Plugin has a restart. If not, you should be able to 
make an AppleScript that restarts and use QS to run it.

If the URL is selected in QS, you can use the “Open URL With…”

Look at Preferences → Extras → Reopening the current application

You probably had one of the non-default choices for that setting. None of them 
are designed to cycle through windows, but I suppose it’s possible that one of

I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to do, but hopefully this will answer 
your question.

The left arrow has always selected the parent object, if there is such a thing. 
(In the case of a folder, there usually is.)

If you made a mistake typing you can use Delete to either wipe out the results 
and search again, or remove one character at a time. (This is based on a 
setting in Preferences → Extras.) This should work with the entire catalog, or 
within a smaller search like a folder you’ve navigated into.

When you create a new trigger, the interface to build it will pop up. It’s just 
like searching in the main Quicksilver interface. Type “CS” or whatever you 
would normally do to find Current Selection.

It should be as simple as searching for Current Selection in the first pane of

That depends may or may not work. When you ask for the Current Selection, 
Quicksilver will first check to see if a plug-in provides special behavior for 
the current application. For example, Quicksilver’s Finder plug-in includes 
custom AppleScript to return the selected file(s). The iTunes plug-in (when it 
worked) could return the selected track or playlist.

If that fails, it will do the equivalent of copying the selection with ⌘C. That 
works in some Cocoa applications without special code. For example, in TextMate 
you can select text in the editor or a file in the file browser and get the 
expected thing from Current Selection. This is unlikely to work in an Electron 
app.

I’m not sure in that case if it’s Quicksilver that needs access, or

QS Full Disk Access.


Can you add the script to different categories in the Security & Privacy

You could also try resetting all the prompts with `tccutil reset

If you can figure out how to do it via AppleScript, you can create a

You don’t necessarily need to select _that_ app in the main interface. 
Any running app should work. (Preferably one that runs in the foreground 
with a Dock icon.)


The goal is just to get the “Relaunch” action to appear so you can 
copy it.

Oh, “Relaunch” only appears for apps that are currently running. 
Maybe it’s not running, or QS can’t tell for some reason. You can do 
this:


1. Select a running app in the main interface
2. Select “Relaunch” in the second pane
3. Right-click “Relaunch” and copy it
4. Go back to the trigger and in the second pane, paste the action with 
⌘V

The difficulties with the Music plug-in are discussed [on GitHub][1]. 
Basically, it needs to be updated to get data from the iTunes DB, but 
that requires a signed app and code signing has been broken for a long 
time now.


I don’t have any plans to work on a Photos plug-in myself, but someone 
else might.

Can you explain what you mean by “show”? They use the same UI, but 
the Clipboard History and Shelf are two different things. I’m not even 
sure how you would show them both, except to manually open each one at a 
time.

Re: 'Exclude types' is not per source?

I have a few custom 'Sources' in the catalog. In some sources I need

However, it seems that the 'Exclude types' lists is common to all

If I add an exclusion in one source, it also appears in all other 
sources.


The UI suggests that you can have exclusions per source, just like you 
can

have a depth per source.

So whatever it is, there an issue here. Or the UI is not OK, or 
there's a

bug in the per-source exclusions...


It’s definitely supposed to be a per-entry setting. If I look in the 
`Catalog.plist`, everything appears to be correct. The same is true for 
what actually gets included (which you can see in the Contents tab).


So it appears to be a bug in how the UI displays the types.

I haven’t noticed any difference in speed. My best guess is that your

I would go through the Catalog in Preferences and look for entries with 
large numbers (more then 300 or 400).

I would try different interfaces or different colors/settings in the

that’s why.

Delete doesn’t show up even though it is checked in QS/Actions/Core.
Nor does “Get file URL”.
Or am I thinking this wrong?


Those actions only work on files, not items in the QS catalog.

Or is there no way to delete an item from the QS catalog/plist without 
editing the QS plist?


Rescanning that preset from the prefs should work (you can find it with 
“Show Source in Catalog”), but things can stick around if they make 
their way into recent objects, etc. I would just delete the caches in 
`~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver` and restart.

Re: How do I use clipboard text for keyword search

2021-03-19 Thread Rob McBroom

On 18 Mar 2021, at 12:41, ka-foo wrote:


I am using keyword search on some sites using the "Search For" action.
Almost all the time the text I want to search is in the clipboard. How 
can
I make quicksilver do the search with the text from the clipboard? I 
can
type the text but since it's already in the clipboard, I'd rather not 
type.


There are several things to know that might make this easier.

First, Quicksilver uses the system’s Find Pasteboard, so whatever you 
search for in other (correctly written) applications will automatically 
show up as the search term in Quicksilver.


This also means that when you select text, you can hit ⌘C to put it on 
the regular pasteboard, but you can also hit ⌘E to put it on the Find 
Pasteboard. If you do that, the term will automatically be there the 
next time you use the **Search For…** action.


There are tons of options for when you already have something in the 
regular pasteboard, though.


The most obvious is just to hit ⌘V in the 3rd pane when using **Search 
For…**. If you have the Spacebar behavior preference set to 
“Smart” (recommended) or “Jump to Argument Field”, you can just 
select a search engine in the first pane, then hit Space to jump to the 
third. To search for the current clipboard contents using DuckDuckGo, I 
just have to type


G Space ⌘V ↩

You should also be aware that the **Search For…** action is 
reversible. Instead of `Search Engine ⇥ Search For… ⇥ term` you 
can do `term ⇥ Find With… ⇥ Search Engine`. So, you could call up 
Quicksilver, hit ⌘V to put the text in the first pane, then select the 
**Find With…** action. The search engines are sorted by how often you 
use them, so your favorite should be the default.


Finally, if you do this regularly, you could just create a trigger for 
`Clipboard Contents ⇥ Find With… ⇥ Search Engine`. (This will be a 
little tricky since the **Find With…** action won’t appear for the 
Clipboard Contents item. Just enter some text in the 1st pane, select 
**Find With…** in the 2nd pane and copy it with ⌘C. Then, go create 
the trigger by putting Clipboard Contents in the 1st pane, go to the 2nd 
pane and paste the action with ⌘V, then select a search engine in the 
third pane.)
