Open Thread: Quicksilver podcast questions
Merlin Also | Jul 28 2006
Merlin on MacBreak: Intro to Quicksilver The response to the MacBreak on Quicksilver has been enthusiastic to say the least. Thanks to everyone who's sent emails saying they now "finally 'get' Quicksilver." That's really cool to hear. Based on lots of the messages, though, there's still lots of questions about setting up Quicksilver, loading plugins, and configuring things the way you like -- especially as seen in the video. As we've observed on the site many times, the ramp-up to full-on Quicksilver configuration can be a bitch. I want to try and route all the questions and answers into this one thread if I can. So, there's a few links below that I [="Red"]REALLY[/] encourage you to explore thoroughly before asking questions (I swear most all the answers are out there), but if you have a question not answered, the 43 Folders hive mind and I can try to help you out. Ask away (after you've really really looked for the answer on your own, okay?). My access over the next few days is limited, so any help from the Quicksilver studs out there is greatly appreciated! Good Quicksilver links:
Quicksilver power users: feel free to chime in as well with your favorite links, tutorials, and responses to questions from the new folks. Many thanks in advance. 51 Comments

 Partly because I never knew...Submitted by Berko on July 29, 2006 - 6:41pm.

But mostly because the Automator frustrates me like no other app can -- it SEEMS like the parts are all laid bare for me, but every time I try to do something useful with it, I end up thinking it'd be easier just to open Xcode and write a dedicated app to do it. Check out the Automator actions for ecto. There is one called "Upload Images." You could create two applets - one for portrait and one for landscape images. It would have two actions (maybe three if you have to do the "Select blog" action): Get Specified Finder Items (for dropping) and then ecto > Upload Images. Save as an application and then drop to your heart's content. » POSTED IN:
