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

 Excluding items from the CatalogSubmitted by andy47 on July 30, 2006 - 9:52pm.
My question, and it may already be answered in another tutorial or forum post, is how to exclude certain files (and file types) from my catalog. I've added a custom location (my Work folder) to the catalog and items in it are showing up in the main interface. Which is good. But I've got an awful lot of Python code and I only want to see the .py files not the (sort of) compiled .pyc files that accompany them. I seem to regularly select the wrong one when I'm not really paying attention to my search results, meaning that I get a garbled file in my text editor rather than the Python source code I thought I was going to see. I notice in the Catalog preference 'Show Info' window that there is a 'Source Options' tab. Is this the way to control what gets included in my Catalog? And if so, how do I use it to exclude certain files and file types. » POSTED IN:
