Open Thread: Quicksilver podcast questions

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

My best guess is that the file that it was able to find was either open or a recent item (both of which categories are included in the catalog by default I believe). If you want to have a deeper cataloguing of certain folders such as the Desktop or Documents, you will have to create a new catalog entry and change its scanning depth. The easiest way is by Create a Copy. Since you mentioned Desktop, I will give instructions for Desktop. Thank you for your detailed post. Following your directions I changed the depth to which Quicksilver searches. This solved my problems. And yes the file QS found originally was a recent file. This exercise really clarified the catalogue for me. » POSTED IN:
