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

 Hi again Kim, Did you go...Submitted by Evan on January 23, 2007 - 9:02pm.
Hi again Kim, Did you go deep enough on the "source options" setting to get to the files you want? QS won't catalog the files if they are deeper than 5 levels in your case (you set it at 4). Personally I go deep on my folder cataloging (mine go to 11, ouch) since I use Quicksilver to access just about every file I need. But there might be some memory hogging issues with this which makes it a poor idea. Don't know. However if you've set the source options to the right depth and the files still aren't appearing you may want to head over the the Quicksilver forums at Blacktree. Regarding your PS. On this site in User CP > Edit Options > Default Thread Subscription Mode you will be able to set your notification to threads you've subscribed to, including any in which you've posted. » POSTED IN:
