moving files with quicksilver

as a student i'm often downloading files from my teachers homepages, like pdf slides. Normally, my browser saves them in "Downloads" Folder and shows them with preview.

what i like to do is to move the file while i see it with preview. because right now i always have to open "Downloads", click on the file and then use quicksilver to move the file...

isn't there a way to it right away from preview?

thx, simon

(and sorry if i posted this topic in the wrong place in this forum)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
