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

 I've tried Quicksilver on 5...Submitted by Derek on July 31, 2006 - 8:37am.
I've tried Quicksilver on 5 or 6 different occasions. I can see that it's a powerful application. Still, I always end up uninstalling it. Spotlight works for the launcher aspect of Quicksilver (thought it requires a few more keystrokes) and the other aspects aren't overly useful to me - I don't use Mail (GMail), I don't use iCal (Google Calendar), I don't use iChat (Adium) etc. It seems to me that I'm missing out on a lot of QS goodness because of this. I have GMail Notifier set as my default mail handler in quicksilver. Is there a way to have QS catalog my GMail contacts? If not, can anyone recommend a good application for syncing my GMail contacts and Mac Address Book? » POSTED IN:
