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

This really depends on how you want to use Quicksilver. If you will use it to gain access to certain files or certain types of files only, then you may want to limit the folder depth. However, if you want to get access to most of your files you may want to go deeper. What I do is simply navigate into infrequently used folders and don't catalog them in QS. That way seemingly random files don't show up when I begin typing but I can still access those files by bringing up the folder and using the "right-arrow into folder" feature of Quicksilver. I think deciding what to catalog is a personal preference. It may take time to find your own most productive way of using any tool. Play around. » POSTED IN:
