OK, but it shouldn’t be a proxy object. There’s been enough abuse of that already. 

https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/654

We should come up with a name for objects that serve no purpose other than to be the parent to other objects.

You’ll probably want the trigger to “Search Contents”. The “Show Menu Items” action won’t be available.

I assume you know about the reference?

Looks like Patrick fixed that one, but “duplicate definition” errors can be cleared up by just
cleaning (⇧⌘K) and building again. I think they result from #import statements for things that are
already imported by the xcconfig settings. Most times, the plug-in doesn’t need to import anything
from Quicksilver or OS X itself, but many do.

Proxy objects actually come from a variety of plug-ins and always have. It’s confusing and we’ve made a
note of that. https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/757

Yes, the Latest Download proxy is provided by the Core Support plug-in, which is bundled with the
application. Whether or not your changes should go there depends on what they are.

It’s always nice to see more people taking an interest in making plug-ins. Let me know if you have any
questions. (As Patrick said, probably best to do it on the dev list.)

Collection Objects?

I see the distinction, I'm not sure it needs to be exposed to the user. (These are just like proxy objects but
are slightly faster and don't need an extra button press).

Agree. I can’t think of a reason anyone needs to know they’re dealing with one of these.

Internally though, it might be nice to define a consistent “type” for these so we can prevent actions
from appearing that make no sense (or so users could make “Search Contents” the default).

Well, letting users make Search Contents the default action would exposing it to the users. If that's the
case then it should be done in the most obvious way possible. Maybe that's just an object type in the actions
prefs or maybe there's a catalog collection somewhere.

QS not seeing applications, instead showing catalog settings

Re: QS not seeing applications, instead showing catalog settings

Try clearing the cache:
http://qsapp.com/wiki/FAQ#Clearing_the_cache

It's an old bug (and I thought it was fixed by now), but that should help.
