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

 A Plug-in Installation Problem & SolutionSubmitted by AmberSat on November 5, 2006 - 7:26pm.
I just came across the MacBreak podcasts a few days ago. I've been a fan of Leo Laporte's for a long time, and it was nice to see him team up with Merlin, since I owe him a debt of gratitude for introducing me to kGTD here on 43F. The podcast finally sold me on trying out QS, but alas, I ran into some trouble while installing the plug-ins. I clicked on the applicable boxes and the status bar indicated they were loading, but then it stalled up and never finished. I tried reinstalling QS, but encountered the same problem again. Finally, I came up with this solution: 1) In Finder, navigate to the User/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver folder. I thought I'd just go ahead and post this fix here in case anyone else encounters the same problem. I'm really looking forward to exploring all this program's functionality now! » POSTED IN:
