Triggers stopped firing

Victor Samodov — 2013-05-16T20:10:38

I had three triggers for web search, "Current selection " -> "Find With" -> 
google, google maps and google images.

Everything was working fine until 2-3 days ago, when just nothing was 
happening when I pressed key combinations. I reinstalled QS, with no effect.

I have two mor triggers (Open StartupDisk.prefpane and Open System 
Preferences) which are still working fine.

OSX 8.3, QS 1.0.0 (4000)

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for reading.

Quicksilver and Mac 10.8 Reminders.app?

Ari Goldman — 2013-05-14T20:35:21

Boy, howdy, would I love me some Reminders app action in Quicksilver!  

Maybe it can't happen, because (while I can invoke Siri on my iPhone to 
walk through the creation of a time-dependant Reminder) there is no common 
language Reminder invocation ability in MacOSX, but it would be so great if 
I could just tell Quicksilver, 

"Reminder (tab) Pick up the groceries tomorrow at 4pm (enter)"

...and the Reminder would be automatically created.

Amirite?  Who wouldn't love that?

Quicksilver and Adobe Air apps (PandoraONE app)?

Ari Goldman — 2013-05-14T20:36:58

Probably not, but is there a way to teach Quicksilver to send commands 
(play, pause, thumbs up, thumbs down) to the official Pandora One app?  It 
runs on Adobe Air, and so may not be penetrable by outside app calls.  

Any ideas?

Leo Dictionary Search in Combination with Quicksilver

Catalog Issues

2013-05-12T08:26:50

I have two issues with the catalog system, and I want to know if there is a 
way around them:

1) Is there a way to remove a whole folder from the catalogue? I often want 
to catalog all the contents of a folder except for one folder that it 
contains. If I just deselect the folder from the contents list in the 
catalogue, it only removes the folder itself, but leaves the contents 
there. I can't lower the folder depth, because there are other folders in 
the source folder that I want to see.

2) I have found that Quicksilver catalogues items twice if they are in the 
catalog list twice. Some of my custom catalogue items conflict with the 
catalog items in the default Quicksilver list, or with items added by 
plugins, and it is annoying to have to deselect them from one of the 
catalogue items, and it can be time consuming, especially if the item is an 
entire folder (this links back to my first point).

Is there any way around these issues, and if not, is there any chance that 
they will be fixed?

QSSplash.qtz not running on launch in b4000

1.61803 — 2013-05-12T00:37:27

Is it my installation or was it dismissed?

Clear current object doesn't reset to global search after QL'ing object

1.61803 — 2013-05-11T13:34:35

If I navigate, select an object and quick look (at) it, after pressing ⌃U 
or twice ⌫ I can only further search in that hierarchy where the object is 
located instead of globally.

Is this the expected behaviour?

Text Editor Service Suddenly Stopped Appearing When I Have Text In First QS Panel

Guy — 2013-05-08T08:15:53

I've been using Writeroom as my default text editor for years. It has a 
service named "New Writeroom Window Containing Selection". For years I've 
been using this with QS & it's been used so much it's now tied to the 
letter 'W' so whenever I have text in the first panel I can tab right, type 
a 'W', hold it down & it'll automatically open a Writeroom window 
containing whatever was in the first panel. Now it tries to Share with 
Droplr when I do this (also a service of course so whatever's amiss it's 
not how QS"S HANDLING 

Until today.

Now the service doesn't appear at all in quicksilver.

If I look under "Actions" in preferences & the action's still there & it's 
still available if I control click on an are of text & look in "Services". 
Also the equivalent service for Text Wrangler pops up if I try to use that 
instead.

I've tried clearing caches & restarting & have checked I still have the 
"Services" plugin installed. 

Anything else I can try?

Opened up the UI to look at triggers… Boom!

Triggers with scope iTunes only work after activating QS

1.61803 — 2013-05-07T16:45:01

If I switch to iTunes and use a trigger (applescript) it doesn't work, 
except after quickly activating QS.

If I switch back and forth to another application I must first momentarily 
activate QS in order to use the triggers.

E.g. 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/blacktree-quicksilver/BDaHKJtZyaM/mR2bHZMx4GsJ

This does not happen with global scope.

I use QS b4000 in OS X 10.8.3.

Can anyone reproduce it?

Current Web Page not working for Google Chrome Canary

David Rees — 2013-05-05T17:46:37

Current Web Page doesn't seem to be working when Google Chrome Canary is 
active, instead it gives me the URL from the last Google Chrome window. Is 
there a trick I am missing?

Start with clear window

Ralph — 2013-05-05T00:41:06

Hey guys,
I am new to Quicksilver and I have a minor annoyance, I would for 
quicksilver to start every time with a clean window, in other words the 
type to start window. However, I can't possibly find out how to get it to 
do this, any suggestions?
Cheers,
Ralph

browse object history in third pane

David Rees — 2013-05-04T22:09:51

Is it possible to navigate the object history in the third pane? For 
example I might create/open a folder and later may want to move files to 
that folder. It would be nice if I could do "Current Selection > Move >" 
then use Command-[ to get back to that recent folder.

Triggers remain in effect after I delete them

sp — 2013-05-03T18:33:25

I've had a problem for some time of triggers continuing to execute after I 
have deleted them (clicked the "minus" button). 

For example, I once used Option-f to launch FireFox. After I deleted the 
trigger, Firefox still launches through Option-f. I've since created a new 
trigger that activates Finder with Option-f. Aggravatingly enough, however, 
Quicksilver now launches both Finder and Firefox. 

Is this a known issue? Any fix short of nuking all my hard-created 
triggers?

HotKey for Activation Doesn't work

John Meyer — 2013-05-03T21:39:08

The Hotkey for the Activation doesn't work. (^Space). 
I thought it might be because I'm using a German keyboard - so I tried to 
change it - but that doesn't work either. 

Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks and greetings,
John.

Unwanted messages about NSPathStore2 and NSConcreteData in Console Messages

Barrie — 2013-05-03T07:57:47

I keep getting messages such as the following throughout the day in Console 
Messages.

03/05/2013 08:44:29 Quicksilver[45996] *** __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 
0x115449ea0 of class NSPathStore2 autoreleased with no pool in place - just

0x1160bf4f0 of class NSConcreteData autoreleased with no pool in place - 
just leaking

Obviously something is wrong but I have no idea what or how to deal with 
it. Particularly do I dislike the bit about 'just leaking'. I would be very 
grateful if someone could show me how to correct things?

Cannot access Apple's Dictionary for definitions using QS-1

Barrie — 2013-05-02T21:51:23

Regard me as a newbie since my skill with QS is limited to say the least!

With B65 I could type 'cmd-space .benign tab D return' to get Apple's 
dictionary definition of 'benign'. I upgraded to QS-1 and this no longer 
worked: possibly QS's dictionary handling was 32 bit. Somehow (I wish I 
still knew how) I found that 'Lookup in Dictionary' was a replacement and 
replacing the 'D' in the B65 string by 'LID' worked in QS-1.
However, a day or two later this no longer worked. I suspect that the cause 
may be an automatic check for plugins each week that I have set up. I now 
get the following block in Console Messages that seems related to QS and 
dictionary.

30/04/2013 21:33:01 Quicksilver[45996] Warning: no action object for 
Command [Action Missing: QSDictionaryLookupAction]

    directID = QSGlobalSelectionProxy;
    indirectArchive =     {
        class = QSObject;

            QSTextProxyType = "";

Quicksilver in Mission Control

2013-05-02T08:02:24

For some reason, Quicksilver occasionally appears in Mission Control. It 
appears with no window above it, and is only sometimes there. Is this 
normal, and is there a way to fix it?

Displaying clipboard history with a keyboard shortcut?

Diego Barros — 2013-05-01T04:50:48

Is it possible to show the Quicksilver clipboard history window with a 
keyboard shortcut -- but doing so without first activating QuickSilver, 
then pressing Command+L?

Cannot adjust depth

Rob Reid — 2013-05-01T00:02:12

I've just installed QS 1.0.0 on a relatively new laptop.  I cannot adjust 
the depth setting or alter the Types or Excluded Types fields for any 
catalog entry.  For most entries depth is 1.  For a few it's a higher 
number.  The types fields are all empty.

I've been using QS for years on other laptops without seeing this behavior. 
 I suspect I'm missing something super basic.  But I just can't think of it.
