Re: b63 first run problem - not in Applications folder

The fix is very simple. Would you be able to create an issue at https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues so that we can keep track of it?

Note to Devs:

QSControler.m:623 needs to be changed to:

if (lastLocation && ![[bundlePath stringByDeletingLastPathComponent] isEqualToString:[[lastLocation stringByDeletingLastPathComponent] stringByStandardizingPath]]) {

* Warning this change might give a merge conflict with my Localisations pull request.

Using the full path for comparison doesn’t seem so unreasonable to me. By only using the directory, you could end up with multiple copies of Quicksilver (or worst case scenario, it could replace /Applications itself with Quicksilver.app). And maybe the Dock icon and startup item point to the old one and not the one you think it does, etc.

Maybe we should just update the warning to include the full path so it’s not as misleading?

Re: Typing to search finds nothing


I do, and it says 'You already have the latest version of Quicksilver
(v3912) and all installed plug-ins'. As I say it's a brand new
computer and install: OS X 10.7.2, Quicksilver B63/v3912, not sure
what you mean by interface but it's the default one - see this
screenshot of my interface and the problem: http://imgur.com/3KxcS

Re: ß63 Clipboard history window

I've had this for a while too every time Quicksilver restarts. The
funny thing is that when the Clipboard pops up again with ⌘L it's
actually close enough to be drawn into the edge. All you need to do to
get it to happen is mouse over the clipboard & off again. You don't
need to change the position of the window at all. And after doing this
the next time I hit ⌘L it slides out from the side properly rather
than just popping up as it does the first time ⌘L's used after a
restart - as though it had never been moved to the edge of the screen
before.

Like everyone says it's not a biggee. It hasn't bothered me enough to
bring it up as an issue before, just thought as other's are mentioning
it I'd chime in.

If none of you can replicate this behaviour I can send zipped copies
of my App Support folder & Prefs files for you to play with in your
Guest account.

Current Selection is (null) with append text

I have found some threads on this subject, but none addressed my problem.


My “current selection” works in these mysterious ways:

I can select finder objects and act upon them.
I can select some text and show a large type.
I can’t to much more with it.

What I wanted to do:

Select some text (as above) and save to a file. (Could’t find a way to do that)
Select some text (as above) and append/prepend to a file. I’ve done this, but the string (null) is put in the text file, yet in the above situation the same text can be shown as a large type.


I have the extra selection option on, have the related plugins and have internal quicksilver  stuff and services in my catalog.

Is this some kind of bug? I’m running ß63.

Re: Current Selection is (null) with append text

Similar problem here.
in my case i can't get current selection used in a trigger as to use
the "current selection" with the "find with" action and use it to
search google, youtube etc.
It never worked perfectly but it seemed to work better since i
upgraded to lion and stopped working when update QS to ß63 (3912).
Any solution?
Thanks

Quicksilver initialization issue

Mac OS 10.7.2 - in preferences I've set Quicksilver to launch at
login.  The initialization only seems to go so far.  The large QS
freezes at approximately 25% opacity on fade out.  The result is a
Quicksilver app that will open the QS interface when I hit the hotkey
but then won't take keyboard entry.  It just stays blank.

If I close Quicksilver and restart the application it then works as it
should.

Thanks,
Dave.

From a bit of testing, at least part of the problem is that the appropriate actions aren’t showing up in the
second pane. (“Find With…” in this case.)

This is most likely because the Current Selection proxy isn’t getting the correct types assigned to it
(but I’m not 100% sure that’s the case).

Sounds a lot like https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/580

I’m stumped at the moment.

manually i can't find "find with" in the second pane, but it seems to

Re: Current Selection is (null) with append text

Thar’s right.

But the append action does show up in the second pane, but puts a "(null)” in the text.
