Quicksilver’s losing weight; a far cry from the 30+ MB RAM usage it once required while idling. The speed at which it runs is also nearing “spectacular” status.
Not for human consumption. Yet.

I’ve been experiencing random crashes in leopard that weren’t there in tiger. I’ll just be pulling up a script or a program and the app will just crash, no error, no nothing. I have a terminal script (qs.sh) that basically does
killall Quicksilver && open -a Quicksilverto bring it back quickly, but its still annoying. I think i might pull down a copy of the source myself and tinker. I wouldn’t mind pitching in with the cleanup effort, I am going to have time for that kind of thing this summer, for the first time in a while!reasonded by peelman on April 22, 2008 10:18 am | Permalink
I can hardly wait for the newest version to be available. Let us know if there is anything that we can do to help move this along.

I can’t wait to get this “cleaned” QS!! My main concern with QS always was that it did like to eat my ressources and quite some features crashed it. But I recently noticed… I can not live without it anymore. Simply moving a file to the trash, which is an easy task, I can not do anymore without QS O.o I transformed from a mouse, icon-clicking monster into a keyboard loving monster
So I’m really looking forward to this version.
Hopefully it will be very soon?? Maybe??
But why is the bezel HUD not compatible with the cleaned version? Even if I’m running it on Leopard… I managed to install it but it likes to crash… :/

Any more News on this? I would love to do some testing with an alpha or beta version

I too would love some more updated information even it consisted only of, “It’s in progress, I haven’t forgotten about it. Thanks!” You’re Quicksilver is great, faster and I love it already! It’s recent weight loss is excellent news too as older machines will have an easier time of it when running under a full workload.

“It’s in progress, I haven’t forgotten about it. Thanks!”
But seriously, while I’m happy to keep this version of QS alive for a while longer, it’s roughly 64,000 lines of code so please don’t be disappointed if there aren’t major releases every three months.

Would it be helpful to move this development over to sourceforge? I’m not trying to tell you what to do or anything, but maybe pushing it into a wider development community would be beneficial.
Quicksilver’s got a heck of a following, as I’m sure you know, and I’m sure that we could get at least a small team of developers working on it.
Thanks a ton for picking up the slack with quicksilver, its been a must have on my Mac for a long time.

Ankur,
Have you committed the changes you’ve made to the SVN repository lately? I just checked out revision 106, going to give it another look.

The guy is still working on it. Please be patient, I’m sure no one here wants to finish this more then he does at this point.

Please sir, can I have some more?

P.S. Your RSS feeds aren’t set up right, I can’t get any of the articles to show up there. (Safari 2/3 etc)

I can’t get the RSS articles to work either (the RSS comments work).
recorded by Matt on May 29, 2008 2:25 am | Permalink
I’ve tested and tested… and the feeds seem to be working.

The RSS feeds are working fine for me.

Just wondering if there’s an ETA at all on the new scrubbed down Quicksilver :).
Don’t mean to nag! I really do appreciate your hard work, sir!

p>Yes, I too am curious. The new version of iStat menus shows the top 5 memory-using apps in its memory widget, QS was burning up 175MB (machine’s been up for about 8.5 days now since the last reboot) And I’m still getting random crashes that I haven’t been able to track down yet. Anything would be better at this point :4a7d3d609129a9296bf7ac0608c2097

Hey appreciate all your great work Ankur! Could you please add support for BezelHUD, its by far the best theme for QS. THANKS!
declared by Jeremy on June 8, 2008 9:01 am | Permalink
Very much looking forward to a new version of QS. It’s one of those apps I just can’t live with out!

Sorry Ankur, i know you are very busy but…
Thanks for your work!

Really looking forward to this. Thanks Ankur!

Ankur, thanks for all your great work keeping Quicksilver alive and kicking. Is there any chance the code will find its way to github.com (to use GIT instead of SVN)? It would make it much easier for others to fork, track, and contribute to Quicksilver. It would also make it easier for you to merge in submitted changes (than the more cumbersome SVN).
Just a suggestion. I can hardly wait for your first release version.

I am pretty sure you are busy as hell with this, but just to let you know, you have our support
Just a little “i am still alive” would be great, heh!
Keep up the good work!

Yes something like “i’m working on it” would be great. Can’t believe that development really stopped…
revealed by Zettt on July 5, 2008 7:26 am | Permalink
Thank you to all the people saying “Thanks”.
I don’t know myself, but discussions are happening. Hopefully soonish.
I’d love to, but unfortunately I don’t have Leopard…
Git looks promising and I’ve been meaning to play with it, but that suggestion will have to run by Alcor and the other developers.
