Okay, there's something I've been doing for months now and have been looking for a way to automate/streamline the process, never with any luck. QS seems like it's finally SO close to being able to do everything I want, but I know it can be simpler and I can't figure out how to do it.

I'm trying to take an image from the internets (via Safari), scale it to be no more than 200 pixels on a side, save it as JPG if not already, then post it to my weblog. What I do now is:

1) Drag the image from Safari to the desktop.
2) Command+Space for Quicksilver
3) Type ~/Desktop, right-arrow, then down-arrow navigate to the new filename.
4) Hit tab, then type "Scaleimage" to invoke the action from the Image Manipulator QS plugin.
5) Type "fit 200 as jpg", hit return, and it's saved to the desktop in the right format.
6) Open up ecto (or Transmit, or whatever).
7) Drag the scaled image into the new post window.

Now my questions on how to simplify this:
1) Can I skip the desktop, going from Safari to the clipboard or directly to the QS shelf? (Right-clicking and choosing "Copy Image" in Safari just shows up as a URL in the clipboard history & shelf)

2) Is there a way to save the "fit 200 as jpg" command to the Image Manipulation plugin instead of typing it in every time?

3) Can I add actions for ecto like "new blog post" or "paste image into post", etc. without writing a plugin? Or is there a QS-friendly blog program like ecto?

4) If I do have to write a plugin, is the API documented somewhere?

Thanks
Chuck
