Comments on: Cleaning up Quicksilver

Well just now I managed to check out and built the SVN version which initially had 108 Errors on checkout. It all boils down to a couple of deleted files which forgot to have their paths updated in the xcode project, a hard coded path in one of the xcconfig files (naturally this took care of about 100 of the errors) and a bit of code regarding CGSHotKeyWindowCreate or something along the lines. I just googled it and inserted the 4 - 5 lines and then it built. However I am still running the cleaned up version from this site.

I would like to ask Ankur to release the code where the fixes and clean-ups were made by himself. I think it would be drastically nicer to get an entry point into this gigantic blob of code. Also from subjective feeling his version runs slightly faster, is a tad more responsive and generally deals with the biggest amount of plugins error-free. for example in all the new branches the service module is known to crash QS. However in Ankur's version it works great.

Where can i find a clean source code for Quicksilver? I downloaded the source code from

# Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP.
svn checkout http://blacktree-alchemy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ blacktree-alchemy-read-only

on this page: http://tr.im/iWdB

but it gives me plenty of compiler errors.

I just wanted to show some appreciation for the life support and the fixes in the current version, like many, losing QS would be like losing a limb. It's value is immense.

A few have mentioned a donations system, i say that would be golden.

I’d also like to add that I’m not a big fan of what Google is becoming, so I hope that QS will be continued so we don’t have to use that new Google box or whatever.

Just started using QS to the fullest and I must say, there is just no replacement (LB, Butler). I want to thank you so much for your work!!! If it’s legal you should take money for it. You’re already a Mac hero!

I would have no problem putting down $200 for this app. It’s the most useful gui utility on my Mac.

I have been unable to get the pre-configured Constellation Triggers to show up in B56. Anybody else have this issue, or has anyone been able to remedy it.

I have been unable to get the Constellation menus to work with the "Menu Bar Items" action, as well as Making a working application switcher (instead of using the standard "Command-Tab" method.

I believe that both of these issues are due to the lack of the pre-configured Constellation Triggers. (I believe they contain scipts that are otherwise not reproducible with the standard actions.)

Thanks

Thanks so much for working on this!!! I love quicksilver so much more than Leopard’s spotlight. Is there any chance you can get a hold of the User Interface (+) source so someone, maybe even myself, can make it Leopard compatible?!?
