Apologies to people waiting. http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/downloads/list is the link for QS downloads. I have not been working on it recently, but others are making progress.

I hope that this project will not dye. This is best app ever developed. Cleaning thing look promising but take time and I am not sure it is still active. Google Code builds on my G4 are either not working or trimmed in functionality. I am searching all the time for a sign of ongoing development. Sadly there are less and less interest.

I’m wondering the same thing, Tyler.

I’m really confused.. is the latest version of Quicksilver the one from this blog or the one in the Google Code repository (http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/downloads/list) ? Ankur, I can’t figure out if you guys are working together or on separate branches. I remember that your version was very “lean”, and I’m wondering if the Google Code version has those improvements built in?

Hmm.. I just noticed that the old download link on this site (http://lipidity.com/software/quicksilver/) now points to the Google Code site..

Also (have to ask) — any news on a release?

Thanks =)

Hey, I’m just wondering, will your new version of QS be able to read album art fetched by iTunes (not embedded into the files themselves)?

Hey, maybe you’ve already done something like this, but I think QS should definitely have Quick Look capabilities. Whenever I’ve seen people’s ideas for it on forums, they want it added as an action. However, I think there is a better way.

Inside the “Command” menu in the preferences, there is a place to set spacebar behavior. If one of these options was to invoke Quick Look, it would be really consistent with QL elsewhere. When a file is selected, and the focus is still on the “noun” or whatever, one could press the spacebar and a QL window would pop up over QS, and when the spacebar is pressed again, the QL window would close and QS would come back into focus.

I’m no programmer…at all…but that seems like it should be possible, and would be extremely useful.

Ankur,

Thank you for your work. I just found this site and am very excited for the release of your cleaned up Quicksilver in (hopefully) about a month.

Just subscribed to the RSS for the site to keep up.

Thanks!!!
