QuicksilverThese are posts about Quicksilver, which is a Mac OS X application launcher that also lets you build “functional sentences” on your Mac. Consider starting with an intro video. Applescript: using Quicksilver to append to OmniOutliner documentsRichard Flynn | Mar 14 2008I'm hoping that someone can help me. I've done some searching today for this and was surprised not to find very much information about what I'm looking for. We all know that you can use Quicksilver to append to an existing text file (with the .txt suffix). However, I keep a set of lists—my non-systematic ‘stuff’—in a set of OmniOutliner documents. These documents are all stored in one folder. There seems to be no way to use Quicksilver to append a line to an arbitrary OmniOutliner document, as far as I can tell. I've found this page which gives a script to use as a Quicksilver action. That script will append to a .oo3 document whose filename is hard-coded into the script. I would like to be able to define which document to append to from within the Quicksilver interface, in the third argument. read more » POSTED IN:
1Password integration with QuicksilverMicah Diamond | Feb 29 2008MERLIN MANN - If you are out there and happen to catch this post, I beg you to read on, because you more than anyone else would probably be able to give the best input on this topic…. I use a program called 1Password (which is pretty much the freakin’ coolest application out there, other than Quicksilver). read more » POSTED IN:
iTunes ArtworkPaul Meiklejohn | Jan 1 2008In Quicksilver I’m unable to display iTunes artwork even though I’ve clicked the ‘show artwork’ in iTunes preferences. Is there anything else that I need to do to make this active? paulmj21 POSTED IN:
paste into multiple fields with Quicksilver?George Schroder | Dec 19 2007During my normal work day, I do a lot of work in a web-based database application. And for the really repetitive data entry items, I have set up triggers to paste the “canned text” into different fields. But I have yet to figure out how I can paste into multiple fields at once with one trigger. Is this possible? For example: Right now… I manually place my cursor in a field… hit Cmd+Opt+O to paste the first bit of text… hit the [Tab] key on my keyboard… hit Cmd+Opt+P to paste the next bit of text… hit the [Tab] key on my keyboard… hit Cmd+Opt+[ to paste the last bit of text. read more » POSTED IN:

Spotlight on SpotlightMatt Wood | Nov 2 2007The good man in brown just delivered my family pack of Leopard, and I’m itchin’ to go a upgradin’ all through the house. I’m particularly anxious to try the new To-Do features in Mail and iCal, the two apps besides a browser that I spend most of my time in each day. One thing that especially intrigues me, though, is the reported performance improvement in Spotlight. Like many of 43 Folders’ Mac users, I’d long given up on Spotlight in favor of Quicksilver. But on their latest Talk Show episode, John Gruber and Dan Benjamin raved about Spotlight’s improvement, to the point that Dan (I think) said he hasn’t reinstalled Quicksilver on Leopard yet. read more » POSTED IN:
Bugs in QuickSilver B52 (3813) - re: Leopard? TextExpander?Micah Diamond | Oct 30 2007Has anyone else been experiencing (more than normal) buggy behavior with QuickSilver B52 (3813) recently? The two culprits which may be related to and/or may be causing this excessive buggy-ness may be either my recent installation of Leopard, or my recent installation of TextExpander… By buggy behavior, let me give you a couple examples…recently the Quicksilver clipboard history has been popping up sparatically without being triggered…this happens regularly - like once every ten minutes or so, and needless to say, its been a brutal side-effect… read more » POSTED IN:
