While I evaluate these fonts prior to installing them they are in several folders on my desktop. Quicksilver currently catalogs to a depth of 7 on my desktop. So in the Catalog pane I opened the information drawer for the Desktop folder, and entered .otf and .ttf in the "Exclude types:" field. Quicksilver recognized the file types as it replaced the extension I typed by a "button" of sorts with the name of the file type on it and what looks like the arrow signifying a pull-down menu (though nothing pulls down when I click). Anyway, I thought this would remove these two filetypes from the catalog, but it did no such thing. Have I prevented it from indexing any new font files but not removed the ones already indexed from the catalog? If so, how do I remove them so they don't clutter up my results? </pre> lloyd 2013-05-24T19:08:59 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.quicksilver.user/10979 <pre>It just happened again, and I managed to sample activity while QuickSilver was unresponsive. It's quite a lot of data! I'll paste it in and I hope it doesn't crash anyone's newsreader - apologies in advance.

To catch it in time I thought I'd set a QS trigger to open the Activity Monitor, select Quicksilver, and start sampling... d'oh! I have it all set up now as you suggested and I'll post the log here next time it happens. Thanks. </pre> lloyd 2013-05-24T15:41:17 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.quicksilver.user/10977 <pre> I’ve never heard a similar report from anyone else with an SSD (and I’ve had two myself) so I doubt it. I even have “Put hard disks to sleep when possible” enabled in Energy Saver prefs. Never a delay. Even spinning disks tend not to be a problem when they’re built-in. It’s almost always an external drive. I don’t have any other theories. The best thing I can suggest is to try to sample the process when this happens. That is, go into Activity Monitor, select Quicksilver, then click Sample Process. You might need to keep Activity Monitor running with Quicksilver selected to catch it in time. </pre> Rob McBroom 2013-05-24T12:43:29 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.quicksilver.user/10976 <pre>Rob - thanks, but that's not it, as there is no external drive connected. It has happened even when I'm not connected to a wireless network, just while I was making some notes in the passenger seat of the car. Could it be an SSD thing? Are there some patterns of use that could make an SSD unresponsive to QS but not to other applications? The laptop is running very well otherwise. </pre> lloyd 2013-05-23T20:01:31 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.quicksilver.user/10975 <pre>I experienced exactly the same problem under exactly the same conditions. Instead of launching the installer from the DMG, I copied it in the Application folder and I double clicked: the outcome was different and I was guided through the installation process. Hope it helps.

There have been three releases since then, though that won’t make a difference for this particular problem. The latest is 1.0.0. </pre> Rob McBroom 2013-05-23T19:02:52 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.quicksilver.user/10973 <pre>Hi, is this a known issue, and is there a fix: it happens at least a couple of times a day on my MacBook Air running 10.7 (sometimes when I come back to it after it's been resting for a while but also sometimes in the middle of a very active work session with 7 or 8 applications running) that I hit my QS hot key (command-space) and... nothing happens. Usually I hit it again a second time, and still nothing. Then, whether I sit and wait doing nothing, or start to do something else (open a folder in the Finder, switch to another window), without fail 10 or 15 seconds later the QS interface will pop up and rapidly disappear again. If I tried my hotkey twice, it does this twice in quick succession. And always after this happens if I hit the hotkey combination again, QS is immediately responsive, like it has woken up properly now. I have version beta-69. It hasn't been doing this for long, maybe a couple of weeks. I don't recall changing anything significant on my computer.

If you open the info pane and select Contents, is it populated? Do other web searches work in QS main inteface?

Quicksilver Selection. Most people set that up with “Current Application”, which is what I was thinking of. In that case, I think you just have to choose between the trigger, or being able to select by word in text entry mode. Not globally. It would probably annoy users since I’m guessing there are some hacks that wouldn’t be possible. Each individual action can decide what to do with unexpected types of objects. Very few explicitly check types, but they usually act on the data associated with a particular type, so if that type is missing, nothing happens. </pre> Rob McBroom 2013-05-17T15:01:50 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.quicksilver.user/10960 <pre> I actually enabled it only in QS to right arrow in an application's menu items. Does QS's code base as is allow to prepend some object checking for triggers? Just curious. </pre> 1.61803 2013-05-17T14:40:11 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.os.macosx.quicksilver.user
