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.

Matthieu, I’ll hopefully commit most of the changes back to the svn repo, but I have to discuss a few things with Alcor first. Testing etc. might follow after that.
Hans, thanks, but I can’t think of anything :).
Lowfi, from the Bezel HUD website:
These builds are the Tiger-compatible B5X branch. Bezel HUD requires Leopard.

damn……..
getting the memory footprint to be a 1/10 of what it was is no easy task.
I’m looking forward to the day when my RSS feed indicates “DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE”
Keep up the excellent work…I’m sure I’ll feel like donating when the time comes around!

I can’t wait until the day that Quicksilver comes back to me from its crashy-memory-slug death.
Thank you so much for this!

Many thanks.
Apple: For the love of God, PLEASE hire Ankur and make Quicksilver part of Leopard!

+1 Thanks!
Really appreciate it!
Yes, Quicksilver should be included with Apple, and Ankur should be hired!

Any interest in distributing a version with a crash reporter like some of those discussed here in it?

might generate a lot of noise at first, but a super stable product later.

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!professed 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
recorded by peelman on May 8, 2008 3:44 am | Permalink
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.

Any updates on this Ankur?

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).
declared by Matt on May 29, 2008 2:25 am | Permalink
I’ve tested and tested… and the feeds seem to be working.
announced by Ankur on May 29, 2008 4:10 pm | Permalink
The RSS feeds are working fine for me.
