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

Hmm... I had a look...Submitted by akr95 on January 23, 2007 - 6:18pm.
Hmm... I had a look at the catalogue and the "Document" folder was checked so I increased the depth scroll bar to 4 and did a rescan. It found a single file marked "070118 ..." but did not find anything else (even though I can see in the finder a number of files with the "0701..." name. If I type in the folder that all of those documents are in, I can see all of the files but they just don't seem to want to appear when I search for them by themselves. IS my approach re increasing the depth of the "Documents" folder too general, should I just go deep on certain folders and not so deep on others? At level 5 I have about 3k folders/files indicated as the search parameter (hope this makes sense, not familiar with the Quicksilver jargon yet) Thanks for getting back so quick. PS Is there a way that this forum will email you when someone replies to a post or you can "watch" a particular thread (and get email notification when it changes). Kim » POSTED IN:
