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.

This is so great. Thanks for your work on quicksilver (+ plugins). Can’t wait for a release!

Hey Ankur,
I’m quite looking forward to the improved speed of quicksilver and I’d state again that you’re doing a great job working on quicksilver. Keep up your work!

I assume this is the “new” quicksilver, not the old branch? Anyway, glad to see it’s alive. Good work!

Thanks.
The release will take a while. I’ll be very short of time until the end of the year. There are also a number of major decisions to be made regarding triggers, some of the plugins and some old features.
Chousuke, this is still the “old” Tiger-compatible QS.

Thanks for all the hard work you’ve put in so far improving QS. I installed your latest version after discovering your blog by accident. Ever since QS has been markedly snappier and the number of crashes has diminished greatly. Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to try out your next version.

My current QS instance is 10 times that and growing. So, do want! (-:
Is that the development branch?

Will this new version of QuickSilver be released as open source? Under which license?

Drool. You need any testing?

Really great to hear that my favourite application is in good hands

If you’re a student and want to hack on objective-C code why not apply to Google to do it? Looks like they’ve grants available for some GNUstep stuff:

Oh SNAP! I’m excited.

I know you have stated previously that money is not your motive for developing QS. If not $’s, is there anything else you need? I’d provide to the best of my ability

Can’t wait for this release! My QS process currently uses 40+ MB!

Great work…. i would however like to use this interface: http://www.mygnu.com/julius/proj_bezel.html
Any clue why i cannot use it on your builds?

May the god I don’t actually believe in bless the pants right off you. Many thanks for continuing this work.
professed by piminnowcheez on March 29, 2008 8:32 am | Permalink
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.

Thank you for your work on this!

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!

Many thanks for the great work!

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!

ankur this looks really really good.
revealed by soundmasterj on April 3, 2008 6:51 am | Permalink
+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.

Hope it’s ready soon… thank you for your effort!

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!posted by peelman on April 22, 2008 10:18 am | Permalink
