The ultimate Quicksilver Thread
stangster | Nov 11 2005
Let's make this the The ultimate Quicksilver Thread. But I really think a own Category would suit our needs alittle bit better. Merlin? Is this Board supporting Subcategories? Let's start with Websearches through QS: I don't get why i have to select the search action before I can use the variable input field? It's just confusing. My Question is: how can I arrange the various search Targets like I can arrange e.g. the Mail actions? 30 Comments

Thanks Dan :) My problem is precisely to make an Applescript to run a Slideshow. I don't know how to do that....(is it a feature of the Finder ??) You're both right: 1) QS is great for running applescripts, 2) QS is not great for being scripted itself (that info is directly from the Blacktree forums, where I was asking about how to script QS) In reference to the slideshow action: that action itself doesn't seem to be scriptable either from Finder's dictionary, the GUI scripting, or from QS. (macsripter.com forums are a great resource) there is also no automator action to allow a finder slideshow. (I'm guessing that the Finder slideshow is a new "gee-whiz" addition that doesn't have a lot of basic support.) As an alternative to an applescript: 1. invoke QS Of course, it's a few more keystrokes than a simple trigger.http://board.43folders.com/images/smilies/frown.gif » POSTED IN:
